The Old Bastards Truck Series Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway started with Eddie Jones capturing the pole and Dan DeNayer setting the fastest lap of the race. David Dejardines gained 17 spots for the most positions gained bonus. The race produced many close battles for position through the field with many position changes. Joel Kilburn led the most laps with 50, but Dan DeNayer Driver of the #30 Textron Aviation Silverado went on to capture the win. This week the drivers showed good communication, which resulted in 3 cautions with 5 lead changes and there were no disqualifications and 6 disconnects in a 26 truck field. The race ended with Dan DeNayer capturing his 1st win of the season with Jason Barum finishing 2nd, Joey Geiser nabbing 3rd and Joel Kilburn finishing 4th.
This week the Truck Series moves to the NC Edu Lottery 200 at Rockingham Speedway with the current points leader Joey Geiser looking to maintain the lead in the series. The question is … can he hold off the charging Old Bastards?
We shall see when the green flag drops at 9:05 pm Eastern time.
In the Truck Series points championship Paul House is 2nd, Dan DeNayer 3rd, Brian Glass 4th and Dakota Pischke in 5th.
The Rockingham race will be intense, and expect to see close battles all over the track.
