Pilman Wins At Kentucky

Mike Roland — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:56:13 +0000

The WP Truck series visited Kentucky Motor Speedway on Monday night. This mile and half tri oval proved to be very slick and tough during the green flag runs. Many of the drivers discovered that when the truck spun the race was over. At that point the handling just went away. Kyle Pilman and Steve Grooms had the handle on this track. Steve Grooms was quoted in the post race interview saying, “you had to drive with and egg under the gas pedal” . Kyle Pilman must have had two eggs because he drove away with the checkers for first. Steve Grooms came in second followed by Max Racing, Snook, and SRZ JB. Good racing fellows and looking forward to next week at Iowa for the Corn Huskers 200.

Kriptnite Gets The Win While Pilman Cruises Home with CHAMPIONSHIP

Mike Roland — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:30:29 +0000

Due to technical difficulties with Memphis the truck series had to move its event to the Richmond Raceway. This was an exciting race due to having 5 to 6 drivers fighting for the lead at all times. This track was extremely hard on the the rear tires and about 20 laps into the run the grip got very slick and causing alot of self spins. Kriptnite managed to come back with an exciting finish over Parrot to take the victory. Parrot got second, Brian Kenney third, D-Viney in fourth and Mike Roland in fifth. While all this was happening Mr. Kyle Pilman cruised within the top 10 to bring home the championship for season 39. Max Racing finished a close 2nd but no trophy this season. Great Job Kyle Pilman on your Championship for Season 39.

Season 40 will start next Monday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Kriptnite Brings It Home At Charlotte

Mike Roland — Tue, 31 May 2011 12:07:38 +0000

The trucks were in Charlotte for the Memorial Day 150. The series decided to try the new format and after a few minor problems it went very well. The racing was tight all night long with 10 or more trucks fighting for the same space. Kriptnite played the patient driver and with about 25 laps left he made his charge to the lead. Some of the drivers were playing the fuel game while about half of the field pitted for the last splash and dash. When it was all over Kriptinite brought home the checkers and the paycheck. Pilman was in second, followed by Parrot in third, John Stanley in Fourth, and Brian Kenney in fifth.

Next week is the last race of this season at Memphis. Can Pilman hold off Max Racing for the points championship? We all know that Max Racing would like to make it 4 in a row.

Superman Pilman has Nothing for Kriptnite at Dega

Mike Roland — Tue, 24 May 2011 13:33:39 +0000

The WolfPac Truck Series rolled into Alabama on Monday for some fast drafting action at Talladega Speedway. With only 4 cautions all night the Big One was avoided with self spins and single truck incidents. Most of the race was a ride around with majority of lead changes during pitting. With 10 laps left then the devil came out of the drivers. At one time there was Kriptinite, Pilman, Emond, and Grooms 4 wide coming out of 4 and Greg Holt with his nose stuck in there as well. The SRZ boys jockey around to see who would follow them. Grooms, Emond and Viney had different ideas, but when it came down to the final lap it was clear that the low line was the best line. Pilman pushed as hard as he could but Kriptinite took the checkers followed by, Pilman, Holt, Jhaigler and D-Viney. The HARD CHARGER AWARD goes to Paul Emond. Paul drove a very patient race and at the end was there fighting for the win only to get spun on the last lap. Good Job to all and see you on Memorial Day at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Steve Grooms Wins At Bristol

Mike Roland — Tue, 17 May 2011 15:00:18 +0000

Very good night from the WP Truck Series at Bristol Motor Speedway. There was 21 drivers for the event and with only 5 cautions the race was very exciting to watch. The race started with Brandon Hastings on the pole, but Brandon found the wall to slow him down. Parrot, Double D, Hastings and others found their way to the front and lead laps. As the race neared the end it was 3 to 4 drivers that had showed consistent patience all night long at the front. With 5 to go the caution came out with the running order as Grooms and Pilman fighting for the lead. All drivers pitted for new rubber except for Steve Grooms and you could see the sweat coming off of him with only 3 to go. The Green White Checker dropped and the then caution came out ending the race. Steve Grooms held off Kyle Pilman for the win. Kyle Pilman took second followed by Paul Emond, Max Racing and Greg Holt. Great race everyone

The Yellow Flag 135

John Stanley — Tue, 10 May 2011 02:56:35 +0000

Tonight the trucks headed north to New Hampshire Speedway for the Yellow Flag 135. This wasn’t a pretty race as 14 caution flags flew over the span of the race. A lot of these cautions were the result of self spins coming off the corners as the leaders set a very fast pace. Benny Jet took the pole and although he wasn’t always in the top five he capped off his night with the checkers flying for him. Finishing 2nd was Max Racing and 3rd was Ghost Rider. Rounding out the top five were Snook and Stanley. Next week we head off to Bristol, and the high, fast banks there are never kind to the drivers.

Reed Remains the Master at Darlington

Lynn Hughes — Fri, 06 May 2011 13:04:12 +0000

WPracing ProCup hit the track at Darlington Thursday night under the new Admin Controlled Caution(ACC) format.
Steve Grooms laid down the fastest laps in time trials and looked to be a strong favorite as the green flag flew over the Lady in Black.

Punishment, MRoland, Lynn Hughes and Steve Grooms battled hard for front spots leaving others to watch from a distance as the first caution came on lap 15.

Into the pits and back to green happens quickly under the ACC format and racers found themselves once again battling hard for positions.

William again playing the tire/fuel strategy found himself in the lead with Reed after a round of green flag pit stops as the second yellow flew putting the rest of the racers a lap down.
With the wave around in effect as part of the ACC format, the field was able to get back on the lead lap quickly.

With 15 laps remaining, William lead Snook and Reed hard though the corners searching for the Darlington win.
The third and final caution came with 12 laps remaining and everyone hit the pits for fresh rubber.

Reed found his way to the lead as the racers exited the pits and lined up for the final sprint to the finish.
The green flag flew and Punishment followed closely behind Reed waiting for the door to open.

With 5 to go Steve Grooms got a push from TSplain to take the opportunity away from Punishment. Reed watched from the lead as Punishment, Grooms and Splain battled for the second spot.
White flag lap, turn one, Grooms on the low side, Punishment and Splain on the outside. Reed enjoying the view in his mirror until all he could see was smoke.

As the smoke and debris cloud settled and the official finish was set, Reed claimed the victory followed by Snook, MRoland, John Stanley and William.
Punishment, Grooms and Splain get their Darlington stripes and the headache award.

Great race everyone. Next race is at Dover.
