 In week 4 of the season the Trucks head to Talladega SuperSpeedway for the 8th running of the MTN Dew 200. Mike Tellier won the pole and looked to be one of the favorite to win, however his night was ended when Mark Guthrie bumped Zach Michael in the tri-oval, sending Zach into Mike and flipping him over. The race continued on with Bronson Stafford leading the race. While running three wide Austin Jensen bounced off of Nigel Thiy and went into Steven Davis, bringing out the caution. During the caution period, Steven and Austin both took turns taking each other out and were both called to the NSRA Hauler following the race. The race continued on with Zach Michael leading the way but 10 laps to go Stafford gave the 14 a shove in the tri oval, sending him down across the inside line and almost wiping out the entire front four. Luckily Zach was able to save his truck while going three wide in the tri-oval. Stafford went on to lead the rest of the race and win his first NSRA race.
Congrats to Bronson on his win and thanks to everyone who raced. See you all Wednesday for another 94 laps of Talladega, and Monday for trucks at Memphis! |
 In week 3 of the season the Trucks headed to Mosport, for the series 2nd appearance in Canada. Tony Pizzaro won the pole and dominated the race. A few cautions flew early on but what followed was a 24 lap run to the finish of the 36 lap event. Zach Michael and Mark Guthrie raced hard over that span for 2nd place while Pizzaro continued to pull away. Zach was able to pull away from Guthrie but Adam Simons was closing in for 2nd in the final laps. Though Simons went off track and lost 5 seconds. Pizzaro won the race handily with Zach coming in 2nd, followed by Adam for 3rd. Pizzaro set the record for most laps led in a race but leading every lap from start to finish.
Congrats to Tony on his win and thanks to everyone for racing! See you Wednesday for cup at New Hampshire and next Monday for trucks at Talladega! |
In week 2 of the MTN Dew Truck Series and the Trucks headed to South Boston for the first time in it's 9 season history. Adam Simons showed muscle early by winning the pole. Zach Michael lead early but Adam took the lead back. After a couple early yellows the field got spread out on a long run with Mark Murphy leading all of the laps on a 42 lap run. David Daniels, who is running part time in the trucks, took the lead and looked to be the new favorite. But Adam Simons and Zach Michael were both right in tow behind Dave. Adam had internet problems and brought out what would be the last yellow after he spun, taking out a very fast Mark Murphy. On the final run both Dave and Zach were sideways through the corners trying as hard as they could to win. Coming to 2 laps to go, Daniels hit the inside wall and stacked up the field, sending the #14 around. Adam Simons proved to be the lucky man in the group, after crawling his way back up to 4th, he was able to squeak through the wreck and win his first race in the N.S.R.A.
Congrats to Adam on his first win and see you all Wednesday for Cup at Richmond (Last race before the chase!!) and next Monday for Trucks at Mosport. Thanks to all who raced!! |
 In week 1 of the Truck Series, we started at Daytona. Adam Simons won the pole and it looked early on that ATN Autosport was going to be the dominant team of the night. The field was side by side early on and the first yellow came out when Ken Joynt blew his engine. The field got back to green and the lead was back and forth throughout the entire race with 23 changes among 12 leaders. It was one of the most competitive races. Shortly into the run ATN Autosport took a hit when both David Culpepper and Tanner Smith suffered engine damage after a big wreck. Culpepper took it behind the wall and was done for the night. Then about halfway through the race Austin Jenson got into Steven Davis and took a few good trucks out, including Mark Guthrie. Then there was some debate as to who was the lucky dog as Zach Michael had fallen out but was scored as the first truck a lap down but Tanner Smith believed he was the lucky dog. Smith was irate when he was not the lucky dog and ended up getting parked by NSRA officials. Rob Scarberry and Bronson Satfford battled back and forth for the win and Rob had just taken the lead when Mike Carroll blew an engine bringing out the yellow and setting up a dash to the finish. Rob Scarberry was able to hang on to the lead and win at Daytona
Congrats to Rob on his win and see you all Wednesday for Cup at Atlanta (2 races until the chase!!) and next Monday for Trucks at South Boston! |
 In the final race of the season, the Truck Series returned to Florida, to run at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. The Championship was pretty much decided coming into the race with Zach Michael holding a 29 point lead over 2nd place Rob Scarberry. Zach won the pole by half a second and lead most of the laps early on. Zach surrendered the lead to Pete Glover when he pitted. Glover lead 15 laps before he lost control of his truck coming out of turn 4, also collecting 2nd place Rob Scarberry. Zach regained the lead for the final run to the finish. Alex Crapser was running right behind the #14 and on the restart passed for the lead on the inside, something not done too often at Homestead. Zach battled back and passed Crapser for good. The caution waved with 3 to go, ending the race and giving Zach the win and his 5th championship. Rob to 2nd place in points with Mark Guthrie taking home 3rd and Ron Stout taking 4th. Finally, Pete Glover was able to get back out on track to hang on to 5th place in points by just 3 points of Steven Davis.
Thanks to everyone who raced not only tonight, but over the course of the season. 31 drivers made at least 1 start during the season, thank you so much for joining on and racing with us. I hope to see you guys back again next season which starts in two weeks at Daytona! Until then we have the Cup Series still going strong with Indianapolis this week and Watkins Glen next week. Thank you all again and see you next season!!

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!

The half mile paperclip of Martinsville was the site of the second to last race of the season. Zach Michael came in with the points standings lead over teammate Rob Scarberry. John Battista made just his second start but was off to the races early, winning the pole and leading early on. Cautions were a big deal in this race, mostly because of racing being a little too hard between some drivers. With only a few laps to go, tempers boiled over. Rob Scarberry drove down into the inside of Tanner Smith, last week's winner, and the 03 was sent around after Rob hit the curb. Tanner then drove up to Rob and door slammed him. On the next restart John Battista tried to run away with the race but Dave Daniels and Zach Michael were in hot pursuit. However their attempts to take the lead were thwarted when the caution came out with 3 to go, ending the race. John Battista won his first race in the NSRA and lead all 125 laps.
Congrats to John on his win and thanks to all 18 who raced tonight! See you Wednesday for Cup at Sonoma and next Monday for the season finale of the trucks at Homestead!! |
 Steven Davis won his first NSRA pole position for the truck series race at Talladega. Davis only lead a few laps before getting shuffled out of line. The first caution came out on lap 21 when Austin Jensen blew an engine. The pack was bunched back up and shortly after another caution caused when Scott Drake and Zach Michael crashed in the tri-oval. After just one more caution the race restarted with only 11 to go. Everyone was fighting hard for position with the big one narrowly avoided multiple times. Tanner Smith held the lead but Rob Scarberry came up the outside with a huge push from teammate Zach Michael. Pete Glover was flipped in the tr-oval, collecting quite a few drivers outside the top 5. The few remaining were racing back for the win. Zach pushed Rob the entire last lap but could not get by the #03 on the outside.
Congrats to Tanner on his win and see you all Wednesday for Darlington and next Monday for Martinsville!

 With the season winding down the trucks roar through Thunder Valley in round 6 of 9. Pete Glover showed serious speed in practice but it was Zach Michael who won the pole by just 4 hundredths over Ken Joynt. Zach lead the first third of the race and gave up the lead when he pitted. Rob Scarberry inherited the lead and lead 17 laps before Pete Glover was able to work around him. There was a huge crash on Lap 83 when Austin Jenson hit the wall and Ken Joynt went right into him also collecting Zach Michael and Steven Davis. Most of the wrecked drivers needed lengthy engine repairs. Crews were concerned as to how long they would last. Pete Glover lead for a while but Zach came charging back towards the front and the two battled for the lead for over 20 laps. Zach took the lead after Pete overdrive turn 4. It looked as though Zach was going to cruise to victory but a caution came out, setting up a 1 lap mad dash to the finish. Zach and Pete both got good restarts but it was Zach who got through turns 1 and 2 better. Zach held off a charging Pete Glover for his 4th win of the season. Steven Davis and Austin Jensen got into a heated argument after the race following Jensen sending Davis around in turn 1 on the final restart, It's Bristol baby!!
Thanks to all who showed up, some great close racing tonight. See you all Wednesday for Cup @ Kansas and next Monday for Trucks @ Talladega!! |
