Both races will end under yellow on a GWC after wrecks break out right after the leaders cross the overtime line. So, the Truck race is an elimination race as well, correct? If so, I see Nemecheck wrecking 3/4 the field to try to advance. |

Nemechek will wreck the field for a win even if he was safe. |

I miss having the ARCA race in the fall. If anything, it was at least intriguing to have the following year's Cup/Busch/Truck rookie crop slumming it out with the ARCA boys in an experience-gaining one-off. (Montoya in 2006 being the most prominent example I can think of) |

ARCA can have some really good racing, but they ALWAYS ruin the finish with a wreck it seems. |

Arca was really good this year. Not many single lane running, or any overpowered car that made everyone to just follow him in single file. |

Cole Whitt and the #98 team have withdrawn from the race. Leaving (probably) Reed Sorenson to be the lone DNQ. |

I watched about 6-7 laps of practice and Kez still looks untouchable. Unless he wrecks or blows up, it seems like he's the gold standard again. |

This current RP package really rewards one car it seems, either the 48, 88, or 2 seem to always be unbeatable...pretty fuckin boring when you think about it... |

Maybe the 2 and 22 will bump each other horribly wrong setting off that occasional multi car accident? |

yea I don't get that logic at all. Whitt was gonna get a top 10 in May had he not wrecked on the last lap. |

Korbin Forrister in the Richie Wauters' #5 was fastest in final truck practice. I can't say I expected that. |
