Was qualifying for this race wet? I read somewhere that one of the CTS
races here was wet, and this has the lowest pole speed...

ESPN never talked about qualifying conditions, so thats still unconfirmed

As for the race itself, Boris Said really wanted to be part of this race
as well as the partner Busch event but he already had committed to the
Cup race in Sonoma. This left Fellows basically uncontested as a road
course ringer. But this race wasnt exactly a cake walk. It was obvious
he was the best truck but pit strategy always plays a role.

Early on the race was more a battle of the trucks vs the Kitty Litter.
Both Bliss and Hensley both got stuck in it in the bus stop chicane
costing them basically their races and Greg Biffle, looking to repeat
from Portland also nearly got stuck in it in turn 1 after running wide.

The race featured 2 hard crashes into the styrofoam barriers. Kevin
Cywinski who was 8th in points going into Portland further dropped down
the standings after pounding the barriers coming off the outer loop
after he lost control at high speed. Late in the race Marty Houston lost
control similarly in turn 11 and pancaked it.

The race for the lead late in the race was all about Fellows digging out
of a pit strategy hole while Mike Wallace was looking to cling onto the
lead from him. With 7 laps to go Fellows felt he needed a caution since
he was almost the entire back straight behind Wallace. But with 3 laps
to go he ate up that entire deficit and dispatched Wallace without much
of a problem and ended up taking the win by over 3 seconds.

The late Ted Christopher had a real shot at a solid top 10 for the part
time 17 truck but sadly his truck faltered in the closing laps and spun
and stalled on the first turn on the last lap putting him 18th

The only win for the #87 in truck series history, to date.

Marty Reid and Jeremy Dale were the commentators. Dave Burns and Amy
East were the pit road reporters.
