Truck Series: Bent But Not Broken - 26 March 2013 - National Sim Racing Association

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!!
