And congrats to Derek Kraus in #16 for the win. 15. nascar_vd / racing-reference.info posted: 03.16.2018 - 4:32 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Lot of errors with manufacturer... -Salvatore Iovino #32 use a Ford (not a Chevrolet) -Andrew Tuttle #39 use a Toyota (not a Chevrolet) -Kody Vanderwal #43 use a Ford (not a Toyota) -Austin Herzog #77 use a Ford (not a Chevrolet) All cars are available by picture or video from the race. All cars = new body fiber composit style except #44 and 84 = old body style. 16.

For 2018 he makes his debut in Mike Curb's Napa #16 Toyota, replacing Racing-Reference's 2016 Rising Star of the Year Todd Gilliland in that ride after he won the title with it and moved up to the Truck series, and promptly wins at Kern County again. The Pride of Bakersfield Kevin Harvick, the Cup champion who cut his teeth at the city's old Mesa Marin Raceway, returns to his hometown to join the West series racers at Kern County for the first time. Harvick posts a top-5 run as he makes his first oval track start in the series since he ran the East/West combination race at Iowa back in 2007. 17.

Mannoroth posted: 03.16.2018 - 12:07 pm Rate this comment: (0) (3) 18. You're not the only one... But the same for Kyle Busch during his Xfinity and Truck races - even him can have a normal race, where he's just a top 10 car or that type of race, where he leads the most laps, but someone else is just better during the final laps. You just can't win them all - that's impossible. 21.

Andrew use the #39 (Green/black) new body composition for the race. 24. Brad R. posted: 03.16.2018 - 6:43 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) No Julia Landauer or Nicole Behar in this race? 25.

I just drove up to watch and have a good time. Next one for me: Orange Show. There is a lot of talent in the series this year. 30.
