Repeat Dominance


For the 2nd race in a row, Ron Hornaday completely dominated to win at Memphis.



Johnnie Tarter wins at Memphis for his first victory!


We have another first time race winner this week at Memphis Motorsports Park. Last week it was Lou Demian getting his first victory now it's Johnnie Tarter bringing his truck into victory lane for the first time. Johnnie won the MemphisTravel.com 200 after scoring 420 points with his picks.

It was the start of a new segment and Johhnie took Matt Crafton as his segment driver. He was also running race winner Ron Hornaday, Colin Braun, David Starr and Brian Scott.

It's been a struggle this year for Johnnie, he was mired down in 47th place with just one top on the season. Now with his first first he moves up 7 spots to 40th place.

Nathan Helton still is looking for his first victory of the season and came close again this week, but no cigar. For the 2nd time this year Nathan finishes in 2nd place. He stays in 6th place in the standings but gains more points on the leaders. There is now a log jam at the top of the standings with the top 6 drivers all wihin 81 points of each other.

Gaining the most spots this week in the standings is Leon Baker. Leon jumps up 9 spots in the standings after finishing in third place. Leon hasn't had the good finishes that he's had in the past couple of years, in fact this is just his first top 10. Hopefully it will spark something for him.

Finishing right behind Leon is his brother Matt Sealey. Matt is another one of the top 6 drivers, in fact he's up to 2nd place this week, just 6 points out of the lead. This is the fifth top 5 in just 11 races for Matt.

Rounding out the top 5 is Dave Davis. Dave is having a good season as he earns his third top 5. He holds in fifth place and is 78 points out of the lead.

Next week the Truck series is off but will return in 2 weeks at Kentucky for the Build Ford Tough 225.



While Kyle Busch won in New Hampshire, his teammate Brian Ickler had a much tougher time in the Truck that Busch drives.
