After doing this race last season, and getting a full on this needs to happen every year. NASCAR brought the trucks to Eldora again this season. In what is more like a local track race ran by NASCAR truck stars. This race's legend just grew to historic proportions with the way things ended.
With Darrell Wallace Jr. leading young gun Kyle Larson took his truck all the way to the limit trying to win this race. Then with just a couple laps left his truck went past its limits, and was left as nothing more than a pile of scrap metal. This was just simply put incredible racing that makes you realize that trucks on dirt = awesome.
Despite being your winner to this race, and running away with it. Kyle Larson was all the rage with how far he was willing to go in hopes of taking this victory home. More than anything I think the kid picked up tons of fans with his driving. We already count ourselves as fans of the kid, and were sad to see him end up finishing in the back after giving everything he did.
I really wanted to see this... but of course here in Canada none of the networks even knew it was occurring, let alone broadcast it. And forget about highlights on Sportscentre either. Although we'll find out the free agent signing for the Leafs as the lead story, so there's that I guess.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they had problems selling tickets to it. I'd have loved to be there.
When it comes to racing, I'm a dirt fan first and foremost. This past weekend, my wife and I caught the last regular season sprint car race at Knoxville, Iowa before the 360 Nationals start (and yes, we have tickets for all three days of the 360's). Next week will be the 410's. Racing on dirt is the best racing there is, flat out (pun intended).
