Only NASCAR win thus far Boris Said III, and only NASCAR pole for Tom
Hubert.

Was Boris Said's only Nascar win until winning at Montreal on 4/29/2010.
A dry spell of almost 12 years...

Lance Norick's seventh-place run was his best during the time he raced
his famous NHL-sponsored truck.

They were really gearing up for a battle of road course aces at the
front of the epic battle between Boris Said and Tom Hubert (who had a
win snatched away from him earlier in the season at Topeka when his
engine failed). The field pretty much felt that the only way theyd win
is if Hubert and Said took each other out.

Hubert led early and the two battled back and forth in the first half of
the event, living up to expectations, however a little after halfway,
battling Bliss for 2nd, Hubert lost control in turn 10 and slammed the
tire barriers, ending his day. This only left 1 ace of the 2 left and
Said had no problems from there and went on to win by a huge margin.

The hard crash of the day occurred in the esses when Terry Fisher,
multiple laps down from multiple incidents, cut a tire down and then got
slammed by Mike Wallace. Neither driver appeared very thrilled after the
crash but Wallace said in the interview he was more upset at the track
workers delay at arriving at their stricken trucks.

Meanwhile on the points front, Ron Hornaday, the points leader suffered
axle problems right from the get go almost and spent the majority of the
afternoon repairing the truck. However those repairs paid off as he was
able to gain 8 spots from where he would have finished if they had just
retired for the day.

This made two Truck Series races in a row where the driver who won had a
meeting already scheduled a couple of days after the race to decide if
they were going to remain the driver for 1999. Wins under pressure for
Jay Sauter and Boris Said.

Still the only win for #44 in the series to date.

Twenty-one years after this race was run, Ross Chastain seemingly became
the second driver to win with the number when he took the checkered flag
1st at Iowa. However post-race inspection found the truck height to be
too low in the front, and the win was stripped from him. Thus allowing
this race to keep the distinction of having the only winner in trucks
with the number 44.
