Truck race in the rain in about an hour.

The rain has stopped. Slicks or rain? Crew chiefs earn their paycheck on days like this.

Because of Cup drivers......

 

[GA_Boater]

Here we go and the track doesn't look very wet except in places.

Grala took the lead quickly after the green flag.

 

[GA_Boater]

Some Trucks are pitting and keeping the rain tires.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Still pretty wet out there...

 

[GA_Boater]

Gilliland passes Grala in turn 13 in a good heat #1 last lap battle.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Didn't Mikey early on when #75 pitted say, They're going to slicks. Did I call it". Then have to be corrected they were white letter wets...... He called it alright....

 

[WIMUSKY]

Over the wall too soon with Gillilands Jackman is an understatement.....

 

[GA_Boater]

Heat 1 winner Gilliland had a crew member over the the wall too soon for a pass through.

Back to green and Creed leads heats 2.

Mikey knows everything!

I missed the jackman over the wall. Between heat potty break. LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

Grala has worked his way back up to 2nd behind Creed. 6 seconds back and closing. 5 to go in the heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

4 to go and a 4 sec. lead for Creed over Grala. Knocked off 2 seconds.

 

[GA_Boater]

Rhodes new leader after Creed pits. Last lap in heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Rhodes wins the 2nd heat. This is surprising to me, I expected a lot of mangled trucks by now. Looking at a few of the comments, other thought the same;

[GA_Boater]

It's early, but Rhodes won on the Daytona road course in the 2nd race of the year.

This is good and we'll only have to worry about the unapproved adjustments;

Creed leads the opening laps of the final heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Ankrum is right on Creeds tail. 10 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Ankrum takes the lead with 9 to go. Gilliland is pressuring Ankrum and 7 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Gilliland takes the lead with 6 to go and is pulling away.
