Cars in field: 32
\nPole: Rajah Caruth (71)
\nOutside pole: Christian Eckes (19)
\nStages: 30-30-74
\nWeather: 69\u00b0F, Wind SSW 25 mph, Wind Gusts 32 mph<\/p>\n

Congrats to Rajah on his first series pole.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 3 of 134 for a spin by Bayley Currey (41).<\/p>\n

Red flag is out at 2120 eastern time according to nascar.com, seconds later it displays a caution flag. Strange.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 8 of 134 with Christian Eckes (19) and Kyle Busch (7) on the front row.<\/p>\n

It’s been a long, hard work week. This needs to be an exciting race for me to make it to the end of the broadcast. We’ve been watching qualifying and pre-race shows. The wacky camera shots began during qualifying and have continued in the early laps of this event.<\/p>\n

Ty Majeski (98) wins stage one.<\/p>\n

Ty Majeski (98) wins stage two.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 65 of 134.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 66 of 134 for a visit with the wall by Dean Thompson (5). MRN’s Kurt Becker is blaming the high wind carrying sand and making the track extra slippery.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 72 of 134 with Kyle Busch (7) and Ty Majeski (98) up front.<\/p>\n

Matt Mills (42) tags the wall on lap 74 of 134 and head to pit road. The event stays green.<\/p>\n

Matt Mills (42) hits the wall again on lap 80 of 134. We stay green.<\/p>\n

Rajah Caruth (71) scrapes the wall on lap 85 of 134 and keeps going.<\/p>\n

Rajah Caruth (71) wins his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race.<\/p>\n

The race was okay. Sleep won for the third stage, so I missed almost half the race since the first two stages were a total of sixty laps while the third stage was 74. When I woke up they were doing the on-track post-race interview. Long works weeks, plus late start times equal me sleeping through some or all of the events. I hope the camera-work\/shot selection today is not indicative of what we’ll see for the rest of the weekend. It was atrocious.<\/p>\n
