Race 2 – Classes 1000, 1200, 1400, 1500, 7200, 8000
Race 2 started around Noon where we saw Jerry Whelchel charge hard off the line with Andy McMillin close behind.
Even in the afternoon dust was a problem as Whelchel came upon a stuck 7200 truck and ran right into it. After backing up to unhinge himself, McMillin didnt see him and sent him right back under the 7200 truck, that ended Whelchels day.
With only 55 miles left in the race Pistol Pete Sohren got a flat that took him longer than expected to change. This gave Rick Johnson the chance to pass and he held the lead for the reminder of the race. Johnsons overall time in his #71 Trick Truck was 3:43:18.
What really made this race unique was that Casey Folks made part of the course go on the CORR track on the backside of Buffalo Bills. Here you could really see the difference between desert and short course race trucks.
