Jack Sprague dominated but was caught at the end by Kevin Harvick and
the two had a great battle.

Jack Sprague made his rear brake rotors burn up while doing his burnout!

One heck of a race for both, don't get me wrong, I don't really like
Sprague but he can be a heck of a driver.

It says Harvick got zero points. Any reason why?

Zac, I think Harvick's entry for this race was posted after the entry
deadline. He then became PE (points exempt) for this race and couldn't
score ANY points no matter where he finished.

Rick Hendrick's 25th, and most likely final, win in the Truck series.

harvick was a cup driver at that point, he wasn't racing for truck
points anyway so points wouldn't have mattered to him anyway.

The closing laps of this race were absolutely bonkers. As stated Jack
Sprague dominated the event but Kevin Harvick caught him, hungry for his
first ever truck win. Sprague came into the race trailing Riggs in the
points who crashed earlier in the event, so a great finish would be huge
for his points picture. A win would be bigger.

Sprague was caught and Harvick even got by him at one point with lapped
traffic playing a role. The battling even brought Ted Musgrave into the
battle who also briefly took the lead with 3 laps to go. It was glorious
battling between the 3 that could have ended up in any and all 3 of the
trucks wadded up in the crash. Harvick, in a 1 off, didnt want to race
the championship contenders like that and Sprague showed amazing grit to
race aggressively enough to keep the lead and not be afraid of the
points battle, where Harvick could have easily spun him out at any
moment. Musgrave could have taken a big bite of the lead as well if he
spun out Sprague. But all 3 raced cleanly and Sprague went on to win and
do an incredible burn out.

Interestingly enough, Rick Carelli, racing for the Petty's and the
defending champ of the race was a factor in the top 10 earlier. But
after his engine failed, in an interview he stated that they had plans
to run the full season in 2002 for his friend Kevin Harvick, and they
were just 1 big sponsor announcement from going to full time. Sadly this
never came to be and they only raced once together in 2002 to close out
his career. I wonder what that season would have looked like if Carelli
had run full time for KHI

Dr. Jerry Punch and Phil Parsons were the commentators. Ray Dunlap and
Amy East were the pit road reporters.

@7 Hendrick did get another win with Chase Elliott's #94 in 2013.

@14, Yes... and no. Hendrick is the listed owner, built the truck, but
Bill Elliott Racing was also the listed owner depending on the resource
looked at. Even Lionel Racing, when they made the raced-win diecast,
listed Bill Elliott Racing and included Bill's logos on the inserts and
box.

It's similar, but different, to how Chase drove the No. 71 for
Contreras, but the truck was definitely built and fielded by Hendrick.
