We have one of those split venues this weekend. Trucks are in Knoxville, Iowa, racing on dirt.
The Knoxville schedule;

And the X-Men and Cup schedule;

And the bad news - Knoxville will have a rainy evening on Friday. Yuck, Mud like Bristol?

More bad - Both Saturday and Sunday afternoons are scattered T-Storms for the X-Men and Cup races. These are preliminary forecasts from the ex-hurricane.

News and Notes

iBoats Fantasy Live
  • 64osby won for the third time this season. Another wheel chock - 64 must eat them. LOL Congrats, 64. 🏆
  • With 9 race left in the regular season, FlaCowboy is in his accustomed place in the overall standings - on top with a nice lead.
  • iFL rosters lock at 3:45 Sunday afternoon.

Good luck and stay safe,

Humpty

Trucks ringer, Shatz, was at the top of the list as fastest(go figure), but has since dropped a few spots.
I've watched all of the SRX series. Dirt tracks by far was the most fun...

I didn't watch Truck practice and the last 5 minutes featured a lot of mangled metal, according to Jayski.

Dirt and SRX racing work well together, IMHO.

So far 3 attempts at an OT finish and yellow again. When will this Truck race end??? This 150 lap final is now on lap 176.

After 29 OT laps and 14 cautions, Austin Hill gets the win.

Hocevar, after running up front all night, ended with a 16th place finish.

I was forced to listen on MRN. I don't know what it is, but I can stream cornhole contests, fishing or stuff I don't care about. When a race is on FS1 or NBCSN, my streaming becomes a spinning circled arrow. Frustrating!

A couple factoids about the Truck race;
  • John Hunter Nemechek clinched the Truck regular season championship last night.
  • The average speed of the race was 36.802 mph, which has to be among the slowest in NASCAR history.
  • The 14 cautions last night were the most in a Truck Series race since March of 2009 at Martinsville, when there was also 14. Kevin Harvick was the winner. Six of the 14 Truck races this season have had double digit cautions.

X-Men have started the motors and doing warm up laps.

TWT is on the pole. Oh Joy! He says it's his last X-Race.

Rats - With 16 to go, Ware spins for yellow. TWT was about 3/4 second behind Hemric in 1st.

Hemric beat TWT out of the pits.

Hemric and TWT barely crossed the S/F line before cars wreck in back. 10 laps to go when green drops again.

A wreck on the restart and Hemric hits the wall. TWT is the leader with 4 to go. TWT in the 2nd row tried to push Hemric - At least that will be his story.

iFL locks our rosters at 3:25 tomorrow.

Also, CBS has the SRX race from Slinger Speedway, a 1/4 mile oval. Laps take about 12 seconds!
