Gray Gaulding's Distant Cousin posted: 05.01.2018 - 5:19 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) then again, the Jeffry Earhardt deal with Starcom was 5 races, But was announced as a full time deal. It could be they announced a full time deal heading their bets that Robby could come up with money for a full season which he didn't. 6. Jonathan King posted: 05.01.2018 - 5:42 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) @5 the reason Jeffery was let go at StarCom was because he was underperforming. Robby was doing pretty good. It either could be sponsorship or it is an error and Robby is racing this weekend. 7. Gray Gaulding's Distant Cousin posted: 05.01.2018 - 5:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @5 All I head was that VRX only signed on for a handful of races and that the PR at Daytona was just that. Also I can say I am an acquaintance of his and I think I heard the funding was sketchy do that would make me think it's sponsorship. 8.

RyanRacing posted: 05.01.2018 - 10:08 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) News regarding Robby Lyons from his Twitter feed (clears throat) "This is an extremely difficult post for me to write. As most of you know, racing is a business as much as it is a sport, more often than not. At the start of the year, we had a contractual commitment with our Daytona sponsor for our full schedule... pending the outcome of an economic variable that unfortunately didn't yield the result my team and I had hoped for. Myself and the entire Premium Motorsports team have been working tirelessly to secure funding for the remaining 18 races,which has been an enormous challenge. I have embraced many challenges throughout my life, and this one is no different. Although it's heartbreaking NOT TO BE IN THE #15 TRUCK this weekend at Dover, I will be there supporting my team & my teammates Ross Chastain and Reed Sorenson. I look forward to being back in the truck @ Kansas in 2 weeks. I deeply appreciate everyone's support and commitment to my career and your continued encouragement is what keeps me going. I'm sorry to let you all down, but I'm driven forward more every single day to keep moving forward both on and off the track." You didn't let anyone down, Robby. #BEL15VE 13.

Luckily he's not gone completely but its still not a fun situation to be in 15. #BowmanNation posted: 05.01.2018 - 10:46 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Tough world now thanks to sponsorship. #BEL15VE 16. JSPorts posted: 05.01.2018 - 10:51 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) He's run decently to start of the year, too. At least he's not out of the ride for the year, hopefully he'll be able to do every race other than this one if he can find sponsorship. 17. TeamDCR fan posted: 05.01.2018 - 11:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Both Premium trucks have been pretty good this year, and Jay Robinson is usually pretty good about getting ahold of sponsorship, so its surprising that the 15 is having that issue. 18. JSPorts posted: 05.01.2018 - 11:45 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) I know it's early, but Chavous is 15th in points, +26 points from where he was a year ago and +3 spots. He's been improved this year, too. 19. Dorsal Fin posted: 05.02.2018 - 8:32 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Joey Gase, from a Cup gig to driving for Jennifer Jo Cobb. Doh! 20.

(Explains why the truck switch sponsors mid-weekend at Atlanta) So the team's been struggling since. Robby said he will try to comeback at Kansas though. 22.

I know he can win and it still hurts me that he's 32, and is having so many of his years wasted. 26. #BowmanNation posted: 05.03.2018 - 10:11 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) What a minute, Reed is 32? Oh crap 27. TeamDCR fan posted: 05.03.2018 - 10:30 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Sorenson started so young and has been driving for quite a while now, you'd think he'd be older. He's like Rudd and Terry Labonte, they were both young guys when they started and look how long there careers lasted. 28. Canadianfan posted: 05.04.2018 - 10:03 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) If he doesn't S&P I expect Reed to be solidly in the Top 20 maybe flirting with the Top 15. 29. Ultimate Warrior #18 posted: 05.04.2018 - 10:19 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I think it's a high chance that Reed will be a s&p truck which would be unfortunate. 30. Tyson posted: 05.04.2018 - 10:23 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I could see Reed running the full race, simply because the owners points race is so tight in the Truck Series. Can't afford to s&p in too many races or you risk missing races because you fell too far in points. 31. 02Justin10 posted: 05.04.2018 - 12:29 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) But they can park today. They can only really lose out to DJ Copp. The #15 is miles ahead of #6, #50, #10, #33, #1, #63 and #74 in owner points. Only 36 showed up at Daytona, and 33 at Martinsville. The two early tracks that set a benchmark as to how many we can expect for the season. As long as you stay above the bottom 3 or so full time teams, you should be pretty secure into most races. 32. Gray Gaulding's Distant Cousin posted: 05.04.2018 - 12:52 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Sounds like one of the Mark Beaver (1 or 50) trucks won't make it. Apprently they failed inspection so badly NASCAR told them not to bother. 33. JSPorts posted: 05.04.2018 - 12:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) And there's only going to be 1 DNQ, correct? So the field is set, then. I imagine they'll at least attempt to qualify so that they have more race attempts. 34.

But there hauler didn't make it to track in time and they had to wait out first practice from the outside looking in. 35.

Friesen got loose and turned right into Moffitt, pinning the #16 against the outside wall. Somehow, no one else was involved. 40. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 5:20 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Grant Enfinger to pit road for a mechanical problem. 41. #BowmanNation posted: 05.04.2018 - 5:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) These trucks are so slow that was the slowest wreck I've ever seen 42. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 5:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Myatt Snider and Austin Hill wreck in turns 3 and 4. Snider got into the corner underneath Hill, but he clipped the apron and skated up the track into the rear of Hill, who went spinning. Both escape with mostly minimal damage. 43. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 5:36 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Noah Gragson eases to the stage 1 win, while second place is hotly contested between Todd Gilliland, Justin Haley and Johnny Sauter.

Sauter got hung up on the outside of a lapped truck in turns 1 and 2, and Little dove low to take the lead. However, Sauter got back out front two laps later. 50. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 6:25 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Nice battle for eighth between father and son again, and David takes the spot over his son Todd! 51. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 6:36 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) With 50 to go, Sauter has a comfortable 2-second lead over Little, and those top two have opened a big gap over the rest of the field. Third-place Matt Crafton is about eight seconds behind Sauter. 52. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 6:37 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Stewart Friesen blows a tire in turn 1 and slams the wall, bringing the yellow out with 45 laps to go. 53.

Yellow out with 19 laps to go. Justin Fontaine gets into the back of Jordan Anderson and both wreck off turn 2, and leader Johnny Sauter and second-place Noah Gragson both barely slip through. Whew! And now Todd Gilliland has stalled under caution on the backstretch. He was running top-5, but apparently a battery issue has ruined that good run. 62. joey2448 posted: 05.04.2018 - 6:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Restart with 13 laps to go, Sauter and Gragson run 1-2.

He walks out fine. Prior to that crash, Sauter was faster than Gragson and was using the high line really well, but Gragson was cutting him off every lap. Sauter was finally able to get to Noah's outside down the frontstretch with two to go and that led to the incident on the back. 67. RaceFanX posted: 05.04.2018 - 7:10 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Gragson ran Sautee right to the wall a few laps earlier to the point the #21 bounced off it slightly.

RyanRacing posted: 05.04.2018 - 10:02 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) People bashing Sauter just because Gragson spun himself. And the main argument is that he is a veteran in a feeder series. But think like Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier, Matt Crafton, etc. Would you rather: A): Race in cup for a team that finishes 25th-30th every week, or B): Race Xfinity/Trucks for a team that contends for wins. The obvious choice is B. Gragson tried to wreck Sauter. Think of it like when David Reutimann tried to wreck Kyle Busch in 2010 (I believe it was Michigan) and instead wrecked himself. And I do understand that Reutimann's attempt was intentional, while Gragson was racing for a win. But as Sauter said, if he was Gragson, he would have done the same thing. So don't go b*tching about Sauter being an old guy. He's doing his job. 83. Dave33333 posted: 05.04.2018 - 10:24 pm Rate this comment: (3) (1) @82 It's just as bad as the people bashing Gragson. He never squeezed him to the wall. Sauter took the outside. Yes, I did defend him earlier and I hold my stance. Sauter's back gently tapped Gragson's front and it spun him around. And, to be honest, from what I saw, it was a pure accident. Gragson did not try to wreck Sauter, it was some hard racing that got a little too hard. For any person to think Gragson was trying to wreck Sauter or Sauter trying to wreck Gragson are just upset fans who want an excuse to feel bad. It was an accident, plain and simple, my opinion has not changed on either one. 84. Chives5150 posted: 05.04.2018 - 10:45 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) The Sauter-Gragson battle was incredible. Once the door-banging started on the backstretch, I knew it was going to end ugly for one or both of them. It was just hard racing. Gragson raced him hard while Sauter obviously had the faster truck. There was even some pushing down the backstretch! 85.
