The truck was pretty mangled and looks like it can be repaired, however I was more concerned with the health of Verbern who is a fair sized gentlemen that when hitting the inside wall drivers door first was quite scary.
While were on the subject of rules and such. In the Late models, why is the guy 2nd in points in the first heat, and starting 4th in the feature. And when someone gives me the BS answer of this magic 3 week average line up. tell me how a giy 2nd in the points is way up front.
They go by money earned in the last 3 races. With the 77 finishing 20th in the 140 lapper that pays alot more than an average Friday night, that puts him up front.

Bingo.
Special events usually have escalated pursues that are heavily front-loaded. Win one of them and you're starting at the back for three weeks. Finish poorly, and you'll be near the front.
I have heard that the driver of the 41 was invited to a meeting at the track office during the week. There is a reputation that preceeds the 41 as an impatient and rough driver. Some have gone as far as to say that he hasn't adjusted his driving from enduro mode to truck.
How did that wreck end Rick Verberne's season? It looked hard, but it didn't look like the truck was too damaged to be recovered....From what I saw of the wreck, it looked like two guys going for one spot....
This has ended my season due to the damage received on the 88 truck, the frame is bent on the front as well as the rear. I am not about to go through what my cousin had to a few weeks back only to come out and get wrecked by the same endurance style driver again. I have no real problem with Steve Lovie but I do have a problem with the way he tries to push his way to the front by going three wide on lap #1 !!!!
We are also waiting to hear if giving headers to only crate engine rule in the truck class Will be amended before we will decide what to do for next year.
