What's the problem with CBS? They did a gret job in the Cup Series!

You bet they did! Just imagine how much less advanced the TV telecasts
would be now if it weren't for CBS in February 1979...

Amazing how Dennis Setzer won just one week after his frightening crash
at NHIS. He's undoubtedly one of the best drivers to never win the Truck
title; in my opinion, second to Joe Ruttman.

I thought they did a great job too. As a matter of fact, I think the
sport got to where it was today because of them.

Also, this was the worst starting position by a Truck Series winner in
2000.

Only race in 2000 where a driver out of the top-10 won.

A very caution filled race where most of the teams and announcers felt
it would be a rain shortened race.

Joe Ruttman had easily the truck to beat and with 40 to go his lead was
so substantial people were already pretty much handing him the win. But
after a couple late cautions and Ruttman pitting under green and pit
strategy that put Ryan McGlynn and Dokken right up with the leaders,
things got much more interesting and Ruttman found himself mired in
traffic. McGlynn did a great job to maintain in the top 5/top 10 but he
would eventually over drive into turn 1 and others reacted badly behind
him when he pancaked the wall. Busch piled into Marty Houston setting up
a chain reaction crash.

This set up Setzer who was biding his time all day lurking in the top 3
at this point despite a broken shoulder blade and he got passed those
that were still up front from the stategy and Ruttman was unable to
catch him after falling behind from his green flag pit stop

As odd as it sounds, Michael Dokken in an RWR truck restarted in first,
cut down on Norick, slid into the kink almost completely losing it, but
gathered it up and extended his lead on the lead lap trucks who checked
up. Dokken then held the lead for another 3 laps and fought very well
against far superior drivers in far superior cars. He eventually fell to
the end of the lead lap, running in 10th with just 6 to go when his rear
gear packed it up. He eventually limped home 15th, 2 laps down, a far
cry from scoring back-to-back top 10s after his great run in Loudon.

Mike Joy, Ned Jarrett and Buddy Baker were the commentators. Dr. Dick
Berggren and Ralph Sheheen were the pit road reporters.
