The Henry car sure looked good even though it crashed through some banners, but Cole Custer was able to battle back to finish in 10th place.

yep, his 00 Henry car was one good looking ride .... even if it is a Ford ..

[Vaquero]

Any of y'all seen this??
Just another reason for me to care a little less, about this sport that I used to love.

they have a right to make business decisions and I'm sure they have to make many different ones that can have a similar impact on their fans .... as a counter balance, they don't seem to have a problem with allowing Henry to fly their colors on a car

[cooperhawk]

And I do believe that the Truck Series is sponsored by Gander Outdoors, which I believe sell guns.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Right, I was just about to say the same thing about Gander Outdoors. A big part of their business is Guns and Ammo, maybe even the biggest part. Then there is Henry, as mentioned. All they do is Guns and Guns related.

I'll need to see and hear more before I would having an opinion on it.

Dale Jr had an impressive 5th Place finish at Darlington today.

Wonder what Dale Jr. thinks about this, He's a outdoors type and shoots guns, I think.
I know his dad and Richard used to do a lot of hunting.

No empty seats today, Darlington sold out:

[JEBar]

sold out with heavy rain falling .... per NASCAR, "Competition officials have a solid contingent of track-drying equipment on hand: 10 NASCAR Air Titans, seven jet dryers, two Elgin sweepers, one track vacuum and a buffalo blower." .... if they get the race started tonight, they are going to have to work the heck out of all of them

[JEBar]

9:10 PM .... they are drying the track .. .. they plan to run the race tonight .... its going to be a late one

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

It's 10:03 just now and it's just about to start !!

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Green Flag at 10:07, finally.

[JEBar]

good to see the 48 running strong

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Everybody still awake?

Almost 4 full hours of racing.

Celebrations still going on after 2 AM now.

Congrats to Erik Jones.

[JEBar]

watched every minute of it .... Happy for the 20, he held off a strong charge from the 18 who I was delighted to see take himself out of the fight for the lead .... good to see the 42 have a strong race .... best race in a while for the 48, ran in the top 10 (most of the time top 5) of the first two stages .... a late wreck where he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time really hurt his chance to make the chase

[cooperhawk]

Gave up and went to bed. Kyle was leading after starting from the rear of the pack.
Glad to see Jones win. About time.

BTW, Kyle locked up the season championship last night, but not the chase, yet.
