Start of what would be a great year for Bickle. Too bad his Cup deal
never panned out. He was a true racer.

Only career start for Dave Goulet, and a career best start for Tammy Jo
Kirk.

I think Andy Genzman's car # in the DNQ list should be 25 and not 35.

Tammy Jo Kirk had a phenomenal run in this event, staying more or less
top-4 all day, while Joe Ruttman motored from the next-to-last row on
the grid to the front by race's end. However, when Kirk tried to block
Ruttman passing her on the outside out of turn 2, the two trucks
collided hard and spun out, costing both drivers a pair of great finishes.

After being stymied trying to get underneath Hornaday late in the going,
Rich Bickle made an impressive power move on the outside of Ron to grab
the lead away, and sped on to his first career win.

Also, Toby Porter went head-on into the wall in a vicious practice crash
that left him with a broken vertebra in his neck. To add insult to
injury, by the time he was healed up and ready to drive again,
Ranier-Walsh Racing had shuttered its operation, leaving Toby without a
ride.

Rick Crawford nets his first Truck series top-10 in just his fifth
career start. He'd go on to record more than a 150 of them in this series.

This was the first of just Truck Series top-5 finishes for Bob
Keselowski. His second one would be his win at Richmond later in the
year. He best prior finish had been a sixth place in the race
immediately preceding this one at Phoenix.

Ken Squier and Dr. Dick Berggren were the commentators. Steve Byrnes and
Mike Hogewood were the pit road reporters.
