Stacy Compton's second and to date last Truck series win, oddly coming
on the road course at Topeka given his short track background.

Tom Hubert has a great run spoiled by a blown engine.

This race has been uploaded to YT in its entirety a month or so ago, and
not only Hubert, but Bliss and Said were all running in the top 3 when
they suffered mechanical problems.

Compton basically just kept his nose clean. Same goes for Cook, both of
them were running between 4th-7th all race. That August was great for Cook.

Hensley got 3rd, although he was easily faster than Cook, he decided to
be fair and not dump him when he had the chance to do so.

Hornaday, unsurprisingly was an idiot and kept trying to wreck people.
Mostly Fellows and Sauter.

Crew Chief change: #66 Emory Donaldson, who was the crew chief on the
#66 all of the 1997 season took over again for the rest of 98. When they
let Bryan Reffner go they also let crew chief Les Back go.

Crew chief for the #48: Brian Pattie, Joe Nemecheck sent his Busch
Series crew chief and some crew members out to help Ron Fellows. Brian
Pattie was the crew chief all of the 98 season on Nemechecks #87 Busch
car and had won a race with Fellows at Watkins Glen earlier in the year.

Bob Keselowski in the 29 truck pulled in the pits under the first
caution and Tommy Archer finished out the race. Archer led a couple laps
and brought the truck home with a top 10 finish. Bryan Reffner relief
drove in the #26 truck for Randy MacDonald as well on a day where it was
over 100 degrees in Topeka. Mike Wallace had problems with his truck mid
race and sat in the shade while being interviewed with his shirt off,
showing off an epic farmers tan.

This was the first road race in the Truck Series where they had no
halftime and live pit stops instead. During caution in the series though
you were only able to change 2 tires. It made for some interesting
strategies. Teams decided to either pit under green so they could change
all 4, or under caution and change one side then on the next change the
other sides 2 tires, or some came under caution and changed the 2 rear
tires intead of one side or the other.

The NASCAR Truck series came into this race riding of streak of three
straight first-time winners after Andy Houston's win at Loudon, Terry
Cook's triumph at Flemington, and Jimmy Hensley's popular win at
Nashville. While Boris Said and Tom Hubert both contended for the win
here Stacy Compton's victory ultimately broke the streak..with this
ultimately turning out to be Compton's final Truck series win. Said
would break through for his first Truck win the next time the series
went somewhere where the road got twisty at Sonoma later in the year.
