First win for Mike Bliss since 2002, driving a virtually unsponsored
truck. Nobody could beat him, he was ridiculously fast. Good to see
that, as it's been far too long.

Ted Musgrave was running near the front when he had mechanical problems.
Johnny Benson's tire problems prevented him from taking advantage of
Todd Bodine's misfortune. A.J. Allmendinger leads 5 laps after DNQ-ing
for the Cup race, then wrecks, and Kelly Bires makes his NASCAR debut.

Chad McCumbee had a good run.

I was sort of disappointed that Mike Bliss didn't do his traditional
dance on the back of the truck. Still great to see a fellow Oregonian
win, though.

Mike stays on the list with Todd Bodine, Kurt Busch, Ricky Craven, Carl
Edwards, Bobby Hamilton, Shane Hmiel, Ron Hornaday, the late Kenny Irwin
Jr., Travis Kvapil, Tony Raines, Scott Riggs, and Jay Sauter who have
all won in each season they have raced the entire Truck Series schedule.
However, Ted Musgrave and Dennis Setzer are in danger of being erased
from that list, so hurry up, guys!

Chad McCumbee tied his best finish if 7th from Nashville. He was the
subject of a cool underdog segment on the SPEED Channel pre-race show;
last week they highlighted J.C. Stout. Scott Lagasse Jr. finished 19th,
one spot better than his best which was at Mansfield. Englishman John
Mickel finished 20th.

Make that two spots for Scott Lagasse Jr.
Here is the battle for the Top 30 in owner points (unofficially):
Rk. # Current Driver Pts. Int.
25.22 Bill Lester 1959 +306
26.25 Damon Lusk 1959 +306
27.13 Kerry Earnhardt 1935 +282
28.46 Joe Nemechek 1930 +277
29.07 John Mickel 1923 +270
30.98 Erin Crocker* 1882 +229

31.50 David Ragan 1792 ----
32.40 Derrike Cope 1653 -229
33. 1 Robert Richardson* 1582 -300

The 50 truck is ineligible because that team did not attempt a few races.

Mark Martin's worst finish ever in a truck. Previous worse was 13th.

This was Bliss' only win of 2006. As of 2015 it remains his last Truck
victory. At the time of this post he hadn't run in the series since 2009
but he's still active in NASCAR competition so you never know...

No. 08 was a Chevrolet as we can see here:

(the black truck behind Setzer).

Rick Allen, Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip were the commentators. Ray
Dunlap and Bob Dillner were the pit road reporters. Krista Voda was the
host of the thirty minute pre-race show along with Travis Kvapil.
