"Luck plays a part sometimes," crew chief Herb Pierce said. "We knew we had a good enough truck, and our entire organization plays a part in that, but the caution worked right in our favor."
That caution came at the expense of Ryan Parsings, when eventual runner-up Ross Kispin caught him in the quarter panel off turn four and turned him into teammate Josh McCoy. "I wasn't crazy about that," said Parsings, who ended up 19th. "We're running tight, but he can back off when needed." Kispin was apologetic post-race. "I just had Josh on my inside and the space I had was pretty limited," he said. "In the end, I'm just going as all-out as I can and my team put together a great car to give us a chance." Another driver who ended up doing great was part-timer Jeff Cabico, who finished 4th in an unsponsored machine. "It has just been a great day for us," Cabico said. "Our #03 truck has been extremely great during the part-time race and the actual race. I am just really proud of this top-five." Cabico dodged a bullet when polesitter Adam Louis spun and made contact with the #03 as the field slowed down for a caution on the first lap. Louis would strike the SAFER barrier hard and end up in 40th place. Comments are closed.
