Tolsma ironically was in an incident with the 78 truck which was sponsored by MCI. This was courtesy of the race broadcast. 14.

He fought his way back for a nice 4th place finish. The last caution though was caused by Ruttman and Andy Houston getting together and Houston spinning out, which made Houston mad and he ran his truck into the back of Ruttmans a little after the race. Hornaday was caught in that incident as he got together with 2 other trucks as they all tried to avoid Houston who was stopped in the middle of the track. It turned a 7th or 8th for Hornaday into a 22nd and the championship point battle into a 3 man race with seven races to go. 16.

This would be Irvan's final top 5 in trucks. His four 2nd places in the #28 stand alone as the high watermarks for the number in the history of the series, to date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
