Mike Affarano returns to Talladega for the first time since his big ARCA flip here in 2012. 2. murb posted: 10.17.2014 - 8:19 pm Rate this comment: (5) (1) No idea why Milka is even allowed to be in this race. She clearly has zero business being in a race car. 3. murb posted: 10.17.2014 - 8:22 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) Also, Truck debut for Daniel Suarez. 4. cba2442 posted: 10.17.2014 - 8:31 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I believe Duno had some kind of engine issue beforehand thus resulting in not going out in qualifying.Though she probably would of been back there anyway. 5.

(As I always do.) I mean...where else would you find a Greenfield, Weller 3rd, Suarez, Benning, Cobb, Duno, Harmon, Ellis, Affarano, D. White, and Cody Ware? Oh yeah, in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Talladega!! LOL. I'm intrigued just by the interesting cast of characters. Too bad I won't be able to watch though...my local FOX station is showing a local college football game during that exact same time instead...so I'll be listening on the radio and following the leaderboard on FOXtrax online. I guess that will work for this occasion. 8.

And I wouldn't worry about Milka, guys, she'll lose the draft coming to the green flag and we won't see much of her all day. Unless of course she finds a way to wreck by herself on a SUPER SPEEDWAY. This is Dega, so my pick to win it is John Wes Townley, who despite his utter incompetence, has shown to be a pretty good plate racer. 19.

So, I'm sure if he were asked. he might say it's because he wants to focus on his chase run, but what do you wanna bet Kyle was a little 'scared' by his wreck here last year in this race? He friggin' CLOBBERED that pit wall on the driver's side, a hit that 15 years ago would've at the very least left him injured. Reminded me a lot of the wreck Brett Bodine had in the 1991 Twin 125's (I'm still amazed to this day that he wasn't seriously hurt in that wreck) 23. racefangurl posted: 10.18.2014 - 1:00 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) College Football's on cable, like FoxSports1, in my area.

This is certainly rare when it does happen, but when it does, all drivers tied get the full point bonus. This also occurred in the 1995 Firecracker 400, and in that case, both drivers that tied got the full bonus, instead of the bonus point (or points, in the case of the '95 Firecracker 400) being shared between the drivers that were tied for leading the most laps. 85.

A soon to be champion! 89. cjs3872 posted: 10.18.2014 - 5:01 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) And the funny thing is 23andJoe, Crafton could have beaten Coulter to the line, but if the scoring transponder in Coulter's truck hit the line first, which it easily could have if they're that close, based on the exact location of the scoring transponder in each truck, Coulter would likely get the spot on that technicality, even if Crafton had physically beat him to the line. And that point is certainly more important to Crafton than it is to Coulter, since Crafton is leading the points by 16 over Ryan Blaney, who could easily be much closer if something had happened on the last lap while he was leading (he led coming to the white flag and finished fifth). Darrell Wallace, Jr. (third, 28 points back) and Johnny Sauter (36 points back in fourth) could still win this championship, as well, so that would have been a big point for the championship if Crafton could have gotten it, even though it was only for 13th in this race. 90.

After all, it's for that reason why every rundown of the 1981 Daytona 500 (except the one I keep, which I have in a binder) has Ricky Rudd leading the 174th lap of that race, when Richard Petty obviously led that lap when Bobby Allison, Dale Earnhardt, and Buddy Baker pitted, as he was in front of Rudd for practically that entire fuel run prior to his famous race-winning 2-tire pit stop, including the 174th lap. 99.

His finish tied the mark set by the driver who he replaced, (who was on his roof coming through the tri-oval for this same race the previous year) Miguel Paludo, of the best finish in series history for the #32. This mark would again be matched in 2017 by Austin Wayne Self at Daytona. 107.
