2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race Five COTA

Trucks in the field: 35
Pole: Connor Zilisch (7)
Outside pole: Corey Heim (11)
Stages: 12-14-16
Weather: Mostly cloudy, 68°F, 4 mph wind

The entire rear housing, axle, wheels and all, of the Marco Andretti (04) truck cam off on lap 3 of 45 sending the event into overtime.

The red flag is out at 1547 eastern time. The yellow flag is out at 1553 eastern.

Corey Heim (11) was whining about the caution. His team explained that the debris caution was necessary due to the entire rear-end assembly coming off the truck and rolling along the track.

What I’ve seen of the television coverage has been dismal. The camera is focused on the lead truck driving, basically, alone and ignoring the trucks spinning throughout the field.

Corey Heim (11) finishes more than 1.5 seconds ahead of second position.

Other than the axle, wheels and everything coming off the Marco Andretti truck, there was nothing interesting to see in that event.
