Home » Truck Series
With the Truck Series reaching it's halfway point. The Trucks return to Bristol for the first time in two seasons. Mike Tellier won the pole and looked to capture that elusive first win. Steven Davis started outside pole and was also looking for his first win. When the race went green, the Trucks roared around the half mile oval, led by Tellier. The first caution of the night came out when Alex Crapser spun off of turn 2. On the restart John Battista, make his part time season debut, drove up to the front of the field and never looked back. Towards the back of the pack Alex and Zach Michael were battling for 4th position when the two made contact, sending the #14 around with no caution. As the laps wore on Battista pulled away with Tellier trying everything to catch the #39. Crapser caught up to the off pace #14 and when the two were side by side, netcode intervened. The two trucks were sent flying into the air, ending Crapser's night, and destroying Michael's truck. On the restart Tellier made a charge but got loose and bounced off the wall. Guthrie was able to get around Tellier but not Battista, who held on for the win at Bristol.
Congrats to John on his win and the trucks run next week at Gateway!

 After 4 races, the Truck Series makes it's return to the Tricky Triangle, Pocono Raceway. Alex Crapser won the pole but after sliding through turn 3, Zach Michael was able to take the lead, and held the top spot for just over the entire first half of the race. However, as the run wore on, Mike Tellier and Crapser worked together to get around the #14 for the top 2 spots. With only 15 laps to go, green flag pit stops occurred. Tellier and Crapser both took 2 tires while Michael and Scarberry took 4. Scarberry got caught speeding, ending his chances to win, and in the end Michael's too. As the final laps ticked off, Crapser held off Tellier, who had draft help from teammate Mark Murphy. Crapser hung on to win his first race in the NSRA. As a side note, this is the first NSRA sanctioned race to go flag to flag with no yellow flags (good job guys!!)
Congrats to Alex on his win and see you all next week for Bristol!

 For the 4th race of the season, the Truck Series returned to Rockingham Speedway. Zach Michael won the pole for the event and lead early along with Mark Guthrie and Mike Carroll. Michael was able to retake the lead but not for long as Mike Tellier took the top spot away from the #14. Tellier pulled out to a huge lead on the field followed by Steven Davis. As the laps wore on, tires started to wear out as Davis fell out of the top 5 along with Mike Carroll. Tellier's lead also shrunk as the laps wore on. Michael had been running mid pack for most of the night saving tires and was able to run down Tellier and get by him for the lead. Michael was able to manage his tires well enough to pick up his 3rd win of the season.
Congrats to Zach on his win and see you next week for Pocono!

In race 3 for the Mountain Dew Trucks, the series makes it's return to the historic Milwaukee Mile. This time with fixed setups, it was going to be one of the most competitive races at the famed oval. Zach Michael won the pole and lead the field to green and thus began one of the wildest races of the season. Michael lead but not for long as Tex Perry took the lead and led quite a few laps in the middle portion of the race. Just past halfway, the action really picked up. On a restart on lap 66 Perry held the lead but Alex Crapser dove to the bottom, but Crapser had to check up not to hit Perry and Michael went right into the back of him and the #14 went around in front of traffic and was hit 4 times by 4 different trucks. Both Crapser and Michael were able to get their trucks repaired and back out on track. As the race continued both Michael and Crapser made their way back into the front with Michael taking the lead. With just 5 laps to go the race restart and Michael got a good jump on teammate Rob Scarberry but the yellow came out after Tex spun and collected Mike Carroll. On the final restart with just 1 laps to go Michael got another jump and Steven Davis was making a charge for 2nd but spun. Crapser rebounded for 3rd and Michael held on for the win.
Congrats to Zach on his win and thanks to all for racing!

 In week 2 of the Truck Series season, the series makes a return to Mansfield Motorsports Park in Ohio. This being the series first race at the half mile oval in almost a year. Mike Tellier won the pole with teammate Mark Murphy on the outside. After a lap 1 caution, both SDR teammates pitted, handing the lead over to Zach Michael. Later in the race Tellier was one of the fastest trucks in the field but handling issues ended his night 100 laps into the 150 lap event. Michael continued leading on the final run of the night but was not alone at the front. Murphy and Alex Crapser were both closing in on the #14. On the white flag lap, Michael had a lead of just under a second and Crapser dove under Murphy heading into Turn 1. Down the back the #98 pulled ahead of Crapser but the #28 made another dive for 2nd and overshot the turn allowing Murphy to re-take and secure a 2nd place finish. Michael would hang on for the win, leading 147 laps.
Congrats to Zach on his win and see you Wednesday at Kansas!

In the first race of the season, the Truck Series returned to Daytona. This season is a little different than those past, every truck will run the same setup. Zach Michael won the pole and lead the first 11 laps. Right as the field began lap 12 Nigel Thy got into the back of Zach, sending him around and dropping to the back, of which he'd never recover. This allowed Bronson Stafford to take the lead. Stafford continued to lead when Kevin Corbat and Mark Guthrie both had power troubles and spent a few laps on pit road replacing their batteries. Corbat was unable to continue because his team did not have a back-up. Speed Demon Racing continued to run up front as the laps wore down. On the last lap Matt Smith and Alex Crapser both pulled out to try and get around the SDR trio, Stafford threw a block on Smith and stacked up the outside line. The field was three wide heading into Turn 3 and Smith pinned Mark Murphy and was sent sliding up the track right into the pack, taking out most of the challengers to the SDR trio. Coming out of 4, SDR was able to hang on to a 1-2-3 finish giving Bronson his 2nd career win.

 In the final race of the season, the Truck Series returned to Homestead for the Ford EcoBoost 200. Zach Michael leads the points by 11 over teammate Rob Scarberry. Rob has a shot at his first title but Zach was on fire early, winning the pole and leading early, but after a pit stop Mark Murphy took the lead. The race continued on with Murphy leading and Steven Davis running up front. Mark Guthrie, making his MTN Dew Motorsports debut, ran in the top 5 all night. After pit stops under caution, Zach re-assumed the lead with Davis and Guthrie right behind. However, Davis' night went south quickly when he lost control and spun into the inside wall. The race restarted with MDM running 1-2-3. Later in the race on a restart, Guthrie was ready to go and passed Zach on the inside in Turn 1 but Zach was able to pass him back in turn 3. Both continued to fight for the lead, which allowed Mark Murphy to make his way back up to the front and to 2nd place. All three were racing for the win when with 2 laps to go, when Murphy tried to dive to the inside in Turn 3 but lost control, sending him spinning. Everyone got around him and MDM was able to finish 1-2-3 in both the race and the points.
Congrats to Zach on his win and title, thanks to everyone for racing this season. We had 6 different winners in 7 races. See you all Wednesday for the Cup season finale!!

 Phoenix was the site of the penultimate race of the season. Points leader Zach Michael won the pole and lead laps early on. After Adam Simons spun, the field came in to pit but Rob Scarberry stayed out to lead a lap and gain 1 point. Following Rob's pit stop, Zach regained the lead. On the restart Zach and 2nd place Mark Murphy pulled away from the rest of the pack but a yellow came out when Adam Simons spun into the wall, ending his night. The field lined up and restarted again, this time with Mike Tellier in two behind Zach. Tellier continued to follow behind Michael. As the laps wound down Zach and Mike pulled far away from the rest of the field. Mike closed in on Zach in the final laps and was trying to get around the 14 but he ran out of laps and Zach was able to hold on for his first win of the season.
Congrats to Zach on his win and see you all Wednesday for Cup at Texas and next Monday for the Truck season finale at Homestead!!

Next season the Trucks will use fixed setups. Hopefully this should ease everyone's setup making with there now being 3 series. And for those of us that race all 3 nights that is a lot of sets to make in a short time. The setup we will use should be posted a couple days prior to the race so that everyone has a chance to practice with it prior to the race. With that, the Cup schedule is also out in the forums right now for those who are interested, be sure to check that out.

 With just 3 races remaining in the season the Trucks head to Memphis for the first time in series history. Part Timers John Battista and Tony Pizzaro raced to try and claim victory. Both drivers qualified on the front row and dominated early on, running 1-2 for most of the race. While Battista and Pizzaro ran off with the race, points contenders Zach Michael and Rob Scarberry both raced each other hard for 3rd. Adam Simons was 3rd in points coming into tonight but funding issues prevented him from racing. Unfortunately, Pizzaro's bad luck struck again when he blew 4th gear on a restart, ending his night and handing the lead over to John Battista. Battista was able to lead most of the race but with just 40 laps to go was sideways out of turn 2 and was able to save it. 2nd place Zach Michael caught up to Battista but was unable to pass him. Battista was able to hold on for the win and points leader Zach Michael was able to hold off Rob Scarberry for 2nd place.
Congrats to John on his win and thanks to everyone for racing! See you all Wednesday for Cup at Martinsvile and next Monday for Trucks at Phoenix!!
Editors Note: #12 was a lap down
