Including "Team name/sponsor" is just silly unless, as with Coulter's truck, the team name is actually on the truck. Oh, and nice job Onion! ;) 4. 1995z71 posted: 06.01.2012 - 8:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Jason White's engine literally blew up! haha Justin Lofton is still perfect for the season for Top 10s (6 for 6). Jeb Burton wrecked himself trying to wreck Cale Gale. 5.

He did the same at Kentucky a couple years ago. That's what make Trucks exciting I guess. 9.

A Bodine just totally stole one from an RCR racer and I am happy about it. The Mayans were right! 14. 10andJoe posted: 06.01.2012 - 9:45 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) ^ Ah, you ninja'd me there. :P Anyway, the Pipeline Ridge Hunting Preserve is what that is. 15.

Jeffrey posted: 06.01.2012 - 10:17 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) How ironic that a Red Horse Racing truck would win the first race that John King had to skip. 17. cjs3872 posted: 06.01.2012 - 10:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Well, I don't know if he made the call live, but if he did, Michael Waltrip might want to go into the fortune telling business. While Kevin Harvick was dominating the race, Waltrip made two comments at close to the same time. The first was that rain might kep the best truck from winning. But it was the second statement that, in retrospect, was shocking. Nearly 90 minutes before it ended, Waltrip casually mentioned lap 147, as in "if the race is called on lap 147". Well, in retrospect, geuss what lap the race was called on? Lap 147, the very lap number that Waltrip mentioned 90 minutes earlier. Now I don't know if that was a live call, since I caught it on the replay, or if the race was even televised live (I know the finish was). If it was a live call, and Waltrip did make a casual prediction on what lap the race would be called on (lap 147), ne's either a genius (which we know he isn't), or could somehow see the future, because there's no way anyone could possibly predict a lap number that a rain-shortened race could possibly end on, more than an hour (and nearly two) before it ended. 18. 10andJoe posted: 06.01.2012 - 10:49 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yes, the entire race was broadcast live. And that's spooky... 19.

DaleSrFanForever posted: 06.02.2012 - 12:11 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) God help us all if Michael Waltrip can see the future, cause he sure as hell will make it his first priority to see how he can piggyback off future events for his own name and image and worry about those affected second. Watching him exploit the 10th anniversary of Big E's passing last February for himself was a new low even for him, so Lord only knows what he would do if he can see the future. 24.

JP88 posted: 06.02.2012 - 1:14 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Had to laugh at Harvick losing the race...maybe that will keep him out. What was the deal with John King? I know he really isn't that good but could RHR really not find sponsorship for the Daytona winner. (I'm assuming it since Bodine was plain too.) 28. 10andJoe posted: 06.02.2012 - 1:36 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) The RHR #7 had operations suspended because they couldn't find sponsorship, yes. 29. cjs3872 posted: 06.02.2012 - 2:04 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Ryan, there might have been that many people at the start of the race, but as the weather got worse, people left, and there weren't 10,000 people in attendance when the race ended. And they knew the weather was getting bad, though it wasn't as bad as it was on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay, trust me. I live in the Baltimore area, and there was a tornado that touched down about 15 miles from where I live, and the storms that produced that tornado just trained up I-95 for about five hours. 30.

TheTruthâ?¢ posted: 06.02.2012 - 11:41 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) hijinks like.. Harvick, who was much faster than Ty, starting on the outside so that Ty wouldn't get trained, and because of this, Ty would let him in entering turn 1? That stuff was way overdramatized. We've seen it at Martinsville just about every race since they started running double file restarts. 32. Rob posted: 06.02.2012 - 11:45 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I saw this joke of a race. Why didnt they just call it after the first rain shower? Dover dosent have lights, did they honestly think they could finish it? 33. Rob posted: 06.02.2012 - 11:49 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @post 17 if Waltrip could see into the future he would have more than 4 career cup wins. lol 34. 10andJoe posted: 06.02.2012 - 11:52 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) 32 - "This joke of a race" was actually pretty enjoyable to watch. And while they may or may not have been able to run the full distance, they /did/ know they could get /more/ of the race in - and they did. 35. Rusty posted: 06.02.2012 - 11:55 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Is this the first time they've ever aired this race live? Speed has normally tape delated it over the years. 36. the Great Dave posted: 06.02.2012 - 12:13 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Also the #75 was sponsored by Food Country USA and Galaxy Food Centers. 37. 10andJoe posted: 06.02.2012 - 4:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Rusty - AFAIK, yes; it's always been inexplicably tape-delayed before. 38. Dave#38fan posted: 06.02.2012 - 5:08 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) the reason this race has always been tape delayed in the past is because dover doesn't have lights and can't have races run past 8:15ish. the truck races are usually run on friday nights in primetime, to attract the most viewers. however, the race has to be over and done with well before primetime tv hours, so the race is ran in the late afternoon and played in primetime. 39. 10andJoe posted: 06.02.2012 - 6:25 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) But why run /Dover/ in primetime? I mean, they didn't tape-delay NHIS, or Pocono, or Martinsville - all East Coast tracks eithout lights - to get primetime ratings. Why Dover? 40. Rob posted: 06.02.2012 - 7:55 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) NASCAR needs to go to each track twice, start in Flordia go clockwise around the u.s and finish the season in flordia. Have one night race and one day race at each track. But hey that would make sense....... 41. 18fan posted: 06.02.2012 - 8:01 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I think they run Dover as that race because it is the only race of the East Coast tracks without lights that runs a triple header weekend, so that is my best guess on the timing of the Dover truck race. 42. Dave#38fan posted: 06.02.2012 - 10:50 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @10andJoe because new hampshire, pocono, and martinsville truck races are run in the afternoon on weekends, not weekdays. 43. kup posted: 06.03.2012 - 8:40 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) UPS - universal points system.

We need more Onion posted: 01.03.2013 - 1:57 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I remember watching this race live with my buddies on a Scandinavian channel (Here in Central Europe, trucks are hard to catch), with Todd being my favorite driver that race was awsome for me. Glad that no one here has called it a fluke, okay Todd got lucky with the rain stops, but he passed Paludo and held up Kliegerman and Harvick for laps after that. Parker really took it like a man, congratulated the Onion and said that he had plenty of chances. Doubt Harvick would've done the same. All in all, 2nd best Truck race of '12, only second to Homestead, I sincerely hope that Todd manages to get some sponsorship and snatch up a ride for 2013. 51.
