The final race of the truck series season is tonight at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Zach Michael holds a commanding 29 point lead over teammate Rob Scarberry. It would take a record setting number of people to show up for Rob to have a chance at claiming the top spot. However, there are a few positions up for grabs, even 2nd place. A record setting 29 drivers have started at least 1 race in the truck series, with season highs for one race at 18, 15 (twice), and 13. A big thanks to everyone who showed up, hope you guys will join us again next season.
Next season's schedule has already been announced with the trucks heading to 7 completely different race tracks in as many weeks. It will be a true test of who is the best overall driver with races at Super-Speedways, Flat tracks, Short tracks, and even a Road Course! But that will not start for a couple weeks. Tonight, we have to finish the current season at Homestead. Here's a look at each of the top drivers and how there season has gone.
Zach Michael (Leader) - Zach has dominated the season right from the start, winning 4 out of 8 races with one to go. The Championship is all but locked up for the #14
Rob Scarberry (-29) - Rob has run well all season and the biggest surprise may be that he is so high in the standings but has no wins. Rob's last win was at Homestead almost 5 seasons ago. He will look to try and end the season on a high note and gain momentum going into next season to try and take the title away from his team owner.
Mark Guthrie (-44) - Mark has had the Truck Series as his sole focus during the past couple months and that focus has turned into success with possibly his highest points finish ever in the series. Guthrie has been known to like the high line and that will be where the speed is at Homestead.
Ron Stout (-48) - Ron is well out of championship contention but he is just 4 points behind Mark for 3rd. Ron has yet to win a Truck Series race, he has contended in a few races this season. He might just pull one out in the season finale.
5th Place - There is a log jam for 5th place. Steven Davis leads the group with Pete Glover behind him by just 3 points. Steven Spears is in 7th 9 points behind 5th place and Austin Jensen is sitting 8th just 11 points behind for 5th place. It will be interesting to see how all the points battles play out once the Checkered Flag waves in Miami.
The race is Tonight at 9:30 ET. Thanks again to all who have raced so far this season. See you all at Homestead!
