Baldwin First Finisher
BJ Baldwin First Parker finisher. BJ finished the race in approximately 7 hours, 16 minutes according to our very unofficial timing. Steve jumped back in the race car to finish the race. The car has been running well after the trans change. We may be down now with a flat tire but will keep you posted.
Finishing Up Trans Change
Topping off fluids after the Trans change in Main Pit. Dale Ebberts is now strapped in the driver's seat.Trans Change Completed & Back On Race Course
The race truck made it back to the Main Pit where a very quick transmission change was completed. The car was fueled up, rear tires changed and a few other "cosmetic" changes done in about 40 minutes. Second driver Dale Ebberts jumped in the Trophy Truck for some valuable seat time and to grind out a finish here at Parker.
Truck Takes A Spill at Race Mile 51
Driver Steve and co-driver John are OK, but the sketchy information sounds like the truck rolled over. They are moving again and are trying to pick up the lost time while the truck was out of commission. We'll continue to keep working on the truck and will be working on repairing anything else that might need attention as the result of the roll-over.
#94 Truck Off The Starting Line!
Steve and John left the starting line in 5th position, at 7:19am MT this morning with all systems looking good. Early reports have the truck already passing a couple of the cars in front of him. More to come!
