Qualifying is at the top of the hour on FS1.

Thought it was at 5:30, no big deal since I can watch it either way but still

Wednesday Night NASCAR!

We got Trucks, we got dirt, we got Eldora. NASCAR Trucks get their shine on tonight around Eldora. It's the second ever Mudsummer Classic. Last year's race was VERY cool. Even a guy who loves road racing and GT/Sportscar/Endurance racing loved seeing NASCAR Trucks around Eldora as a motorsports enthusiast. It was a unique and fun experience. In fact, tomorrow will be one year since last year's Mudsummer Classic. I remember on Facebook and/or Twitter I posted something about if (indirect quote) "if NASCAR needed some stunt to save itself, they did just fine with this Mudsummer Classic." Absolutely unique stuff.

If you are any real racing fan, follow tonight's race in some capacity. Good luck to all drivers and teams tonight at Eldora. Let's hope Mother Nature doesn't go on a tirade or anything and ruin tonight's action. At least according to Weather Underground, temperatures are supposed to be around 69°F with Partly Cloudy conditions. No rain expected.

Spoiler: Polesitter

Erik Jones has earned the pole.

 

[GTPorsche]

Ken Schrader's firesuit has had the Camping World patch applied.

Took Townley 1 turn to wreck someone

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Two heat races down and there has already been action. I like this. Really looking forward to the race itself.

 

[Johnny1996]

Truth be told, the only reason I recognize Mike Affarano's name is because of this wreck in 2012.

 

[GTPorsche]

Let's get ready for the Last Chance for John Wes Townley to do what he does best.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I have a feeling that Townley will take at least one other truck with him if he crashes.

 

[Johnny1996]

Looked like Brad K was doing some more complaining crying.

 

[Blitz24]

Joe Cobb has no idea what he is doing.

 

[GTPorsche]

Here's an onboard shot of Joe Cobb's truck.

1. I'm amazed you remembered that
2. as Jeremy Clarkson or James May would say, bloody nora that was crazy

EDIT: Townley, Benning, Annett etc. get in

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Here's an onboard shot of Joe Cobb's truck.

Annett is the last to transfer. Norm Benning made it too!!!!

 

[cnd01]

Norm needs another interview

 

[Johnny1996]

Annett just gave one of the reason why I love dirt track racing.

 

[GTPorsche]

So we get more JWT tonight...

 

[Johnny1996]

Holy crap Norm Benning is from Pittsburgh!

 

[GTPorsche]

His crew is all volunteer... That's pretty cool, and old school.

 

[Johnny1996]

Last NASCAR driver I knew of to be from the Pittsburgh area is Ryan Hemphill, who sadly hasn't had a ride in the sport for a very long time.

 

[The Bman]

Chris Bailey, Jr. is from Pittsburgh, but he races in ARCA.

 

[Johnny1996]

For those that follow sprint car racing, Ed Lynch Jr lives under 10 minutes from me.

 

[GTPorsche]

Learned one thing... Tony Stewart is an awesome track owner/promoter. The changes he had done made a ton of difference compared to last year's race.

If only ISC and SMI were as good... we'd have better racing on the asphalt...

 

[Johnny1996]

Are you :censored:ing serious!

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I'd love to see a Sprint Cup Exhibition race at Eldora. It would be absolute madness to see those things on this track. And man, this segment got real chaotic real fast!!!!!

 

[cnd01]

Merica is happening at Eldora

 

[Jahgee]

Move the Bud Shootout to Eldora & have it rotate around different tracks that the SC won't go to

 

[Johnny1996]

So the official, the guy that's supposed to know everything that can and cannot be done, makes a mistake.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

237 stripes on the walls of Eldora after 2 segments as per Fox Sports 1.
