Why should Austin Wayne self and Jordan Anderson go home when the drivers they beat who made the show are much worse, and driving absolute shitboxes. There's no reason the two terrible deckers should be in the race in their POS jjc and Harmon trucks when Jordan and Austin would actually be competitive in the race 6.

Also for all the shit that I talked about Ben Rhodes last year great pole run for him. 8. The Great Dave posted: 04.02.2016 - 1:26 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Kvapil used his up at Daytona IIRC.

Mike posted: 04.02.2016 - 1:52 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Kvapil didn't get a provisional because the owners points for the #50 were sold to GMS Racing for the #33 this year. So, the #50 has no owners points at all from last season. 14.

Close to 60-lap runs if the caution clock is used. Not bad, kind of like Eldora. 37. joey2448 posted: 04.02.2016 - 3:16 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Stop if you've heard this before. #24 to the lead at Martinsville! 38. joey2448 posted: 04.02.2016 - 3:18 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The reason for the slow stop under yellow for Rhodes was due to the team having to pull out the fender that he bent when he bumped Kyle Busch on lap three. Although he maybe learned his lesson in being too aggressive early, I still applaud Ben for standing up to the "Kyle Busch Show", and not just bowing down to the him. 39. joey2448 posted: 04.02.2016 - 3:18 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Also, is anyone else being thrown off when they use the backstretch cam? They've changed it to a super hi-def camera and it's weird looking at the cars go by with no blur. It's like too much information all at once for the eyes. 40. RaceFanX posted: 04.02.2016 - 3:19 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The radio broadcast was just talking about how the caution clock was running down when Sauter wrecked. Looked like the #21 Chevy will get back out to run some more laps but its got some breaking issues. 41. Dion posted: 04.02.2016 - 3:19 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) According to Jayski, you get to use Championship Provisional every 4 races. He used at Daytona so he can't use today. Also, Claire Decker is officially the 19th women to race in Truck Series history. Unfortunately, like most females, she and Paige are likely to finish a handful of laps down. Not sexist, just stating a fact. There have been 346 starts by a women in the series among 18 women. Only 40 times have they finished on lead lap. They have combined to lead a total of 10 laps & 1 top 10. Most drive bad equipment though. 42.

Tommy Joe Martins got through that wreck and his #44 has a cool red-and-white paint scheme this week. He's even got Petty font numbers on his truck. 94. joey2448 posted: 04.02.2016 - 4:09 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The FS1 guys made a good point. With about 60 laps accounting for a 20-min caution clock run, and the clock not being used with 20 laps or less, probably means clock won't be used rest of the way, as there's only 76 laps left. 95. Stan posted: 04.02.2016 - 4:11 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @65 I don't get why James Buescher doesn't at least have a low-level Cup ride by now.

They likely wouldn't have had anything to do with NASCAR if it weren't for the brothers successes. And, neither of them should really be in the booth. Waltrip talks just for the sole reason of talking. It's almost like he gets paid for every word he says. And Phil Parsons gets overly excited by anything and everything. 114.

Braindead Zombie posted: 04.02.2016 - 7:24 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) So now that I'm back in my hotel room with my computer: First of all, it was a great time, as always. I've been to races at four different tracks (Martinsville, Richmond, Bristol, and Dover) and Martinsville is by far the best fan experience. As for the race, even though Busch won, it was still a great race. I was so glad that the Jacques Clock never had to be used. A few notes: - Those Decker girls were painfully slow and just in the way. The one in the Harmon truck especially had a hard time staying out of the way, there was one time where a group of lead lap trucks got behind her and she let them all pass, but William Byron got stuck on the outside behind her and lost about ten spots. - There was a point in the race where I thought I might have gained telekinetic powers (okay not really) because about four different wrecks happened just as I looked over at them. The first Spencer Gallagher spin (where he almost got hit after he spun) as well as Kligermans spin were a few of them that I remember, as well as of course the last two wrecks. - There were some fans sitting in front of us (my dad and I) who were fully decked out in Kyle Busch gear and wow they were annoying. During that run when Busch came through the field on fresh tires they stood up and cheered every time he passed someone. They also cheered when Johnny Sauter hit the wall. Classy! Still, I guess its better than having to sit behind someone whose smoking. - I might have to eat some words regarding Ben Rhodes. He looked really impressive out there today. Now to watch some March Madness. 169. Braindead Zombie posted: 04.02.2016 - 7:27 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) "I hate tpying on my phone, but gor now:" I think that speaks for itself. 170.

It took Kyle Busch showing up at the race to do so in a winning fashion, with William Byron grabbing third in the process as well. Also, this holds the fact that Kyle Busch has led the most laps in a race every year in the Truck series since he came along. Question for all the Kyle Busch fans: Is this his only race or is he racing more? I suspect he may do one more, since I"m assuming he's going for all the tracks he has yet to win at and based on all of his starts, Las Vegas is the only one remaining on the schedule that's still active. 175.

"Backup truck" and "driver change" basically sums it up. Still, the Martins-Self deal kinda surprising to me today, but IDK what the official rules are on this. It brought back a memory from 2009 or so when the Nationwide series was at Kentucky. Stanton Barrett crashed the RWR #79 in qualifying but was fast enough to qualify for the race. The word was NASCAR would not let the team run the RWR car that DNQ'd as the "backup car" since it had already gone through inspection, gotten its certification #, and attempted to qualify. So they patched up the #79 the best they could briefly before the race and made an "attempt" to race. 185.

Personally, I'd say Bell. Reddick is a lock to be in the title hunt, after we saw what he could do last year, but the switch to the 29 almost makes me think they've gifted Hemric their alpha ride, as Reddick hasn't been nearly as fast, on top of being INSANELY unlucky (see martinsville spring for 1000 examples). Still, he's a beast and that talent will definitely shine through. As for Custer and bell, both have shown flashes, but Custer has shown himself capable of competing on all track types. Bell, on the other hand, came in hot with an Eldora win, but has done little to legitimize himself since. I wouldn't be at all shocked to see a season reminiscent of Joey Coulter's KBM season out of Bell. The fact that these three top-notch rides are mired in the twenties in owner points after three races is just a testament to how far the truck series has come the past few years. It's awesome to see guys like JHN, Kligerman, Truex, Tyler Young, Brandon Brown, JWT, and Austin Wayne Self able to flourish without the benefit of a top factory ride. The CWTS future certainly looks bright. 188. murb posted: 04.03.2016 - 2:14 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) "Between Reddick, Custer, and Bell, all of whom had sky-high expectations for this season, which of the three do you feel is least likely to turn it around?"

You're a Buschwhacker and you run in your own equipment like many drivers 10 and more years ago. Ok, no problem for many people. Then, Kyle Busch wins his 29th Truck Series race in his own equipment, which should be okay, but it isn't. Why? Because people have made another exemption, which says it's okay as long as it's not Kyle Busch, who wins all the time, in his own equipment by the way... then Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins 1 race in many years in his own equipment in Xfinity while running the same amount of races as Kyle Busch in Trucks and nobody cares it's still a Cup driver who won. 4 months later, William Byron simply outperformed everyone at Pocono and won his 5th race in his first season. Almost everyone is happy Kyle has such a good rookie in his team. One week before, Kyle Busch simply outperformed everyone at Indianapolis, in the series where he's supposed to race for the championship, won his 4th race in the season and guess what, people accused him of cheating. I mean seriously? Are you so mad he can win a race in Cup as well? 208. Jimmie4life posted: 03.18.2018 - 12:24 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Cool to see RAM ran two trucks this race. 209.
