I really enjoy watching the Truck Series. It's kinda like watching a Minor League baseball game. Those guys have something to prove so they can make it to the bigs. LOTS of action!
UPDATE:
Action was not so much tonight. It was a runaway.
Todd Bodine won tonight's race for a record tying 6th time. He was the truck to beat from the first pitstop. Once he was out in front running in the clean air he would pull away from the pack by 8-9 seconds. Ron Hornaday gave him a serious challenge near the end, but a late flat tire put him out of the running for the win.
In a great show of sportsmanship, Ron high-5'd Todd when he came down pit road postrace.
On a side note, the national anthem performance was excellent. It was sung by two sisters that did a great harmony version. The fly-by was perfectly timed by a pair of F/A-18's from Carswell. I have to tip my hat to Eddie Gossage. He always puts on a great ceremony at TMS.
Side note 2... The Indy cars were turning in lap times of over 215MPH. That's a lap time, not top speed. They had to be running 225 - 230 on the backstretch. That my friends, is moving on!
Tune in tomorrow when we revisit The Search for Danica, Season 2.0!
