Race was dominated by Greg Biffle (led 70 laps of 175). Biffle was
pressured by Ruttman after a late race restart (3-4 laps remaining) and
slid up the track. Ruttman drove underneath and held off Biffle for the
win.

I wasn't mad after this race at all. Ruttman is a true class act. :)

Also, other than Rick Carelli's win at Richmond the next week, this was
his only top-5 that year.

The #32 Ford truck was to be run by Scott Pruett, making what would have
been his first (and only) Truck start, but Pruett was a regular in the
NASCAR Cup series in 2000 and too banged up from a crash the night
before in Bristol to make the call. Fellow road racer (and his PPI
team's Busch series driver) Anthony Lazzaro pinch hit for Pruett who to
date has not run a race in this series.

As a result Lazzaro instead made his only Truck series start in the
black #32 Kenmore Ford (taking its number and letting from Pruett's Tide
Cup car) but would have a rough day including contact that spun Lance
Norick on his way to a finish outside the top-20.

With Gaughan failing to qualify, Mark Petty actually carried the NAPA
sponsorship in the race, though the truck still looked relatively
identical to the 43 of Grissom in Dodge Red. Petty drove it to a top 20
finish despite having pretty massive damage from a mid race collision
with Larry Gunselman

The track raced very similar to Memphis with a bit less banking. The
race was marred with a lot of yellow flags but after the back to back
crashes of Hensley, it set up for a pretty thrilling battle between
Biffle and Ruttman in the closing laps

Brad Payne attempted his only race of his truck career here but failed
to qualify

Sockwell 11th, Tom Carey Jr., 12th, and Coy Gibbs yes Joe's son 13th,
his only that year but had two solid years in 2001 and 2002 in trucks.
