Premier Sports need to correct their schedule then. At the moment it's set to start at 00:30, the timeslot is just 3.5 hours long and I doubt they're going to be covering the qualifying races.

15 mins per heat race? Sounds like they expect these guys to make no mistakes at all.

well on Jayski his run down of the schedule it is loaded with "APPROX" before each Heat so I think they are aware of possible failz.

Maybe if they want some excitement at Indy they should run the road course

Or make it DEGA Bullet style.

Dissapointed in the number of Trucks. Thought surely more than 36 would show up.

But, rooting for 2-time Mr. DirtTrackUSA Champion JR Heffner.

To clear things up, practice is today at 7pm, local time.

Looking at the guide on DirecTV, Speed will be showing 2 hours of truck practice at Eldora tonight from 7-9pm EST.

This might be one of, if not the most anticipated races in the history of the truck series. I can't wait to see this.

This is for me the most anticipated truck series race since their first race at Daytona. So hyped to see the old war horses like both Kenny's and Blaney race with the young guns.

Trucks driving on Eldora, DAFUQ?

Do wanna see it though.

the drivers need to learn to turn right to go left, plus I think they expect some teams will need time to repair stuff, practice is live on Speed tomorrow (midnight our time) and the race 7.30 Wednesday (00.30 for us).

Those of you lucky enough to have Premier Sports, this is one of their live truck races, so take Thursday as a sickie cos you can watch it live without having to seek out a stream, and it's a good time that the Mrs won't moan about it interrupting her Eastbendale Street shit.

Not only did you prevent me missing the race, you also gave me "Eastbendale Street".

Thanks man.

Ty Dillon, sideways. The way it should be.

Your welcome, I'm being subjected to Body of Proof at the moment, then Eastbendale Street later no doubt, at least Seven of Nine makes BoP a little less painful.

Back OT, I do hope sideways is fast for once

^^ It is on dirt.

Ian-S · PostPosted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:58 pm

Thank you for stating the blindingly obvious, it fills me with confidence.

j/k

FHgrad99 · PostPosted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:46 pm

So far, the top 5 are:

1. Kyle Larson
2. Dave Blaney
3. Ryan Blaney
4. Austin Dillon
5. Ty Dillon

The top 4 have run under 20 second laps.

Meanwhile, Matt Crafton is slower than Norm Benning, Clay Greenfield, and Justin Jennings among others. Crafton is 31st out of 34 trucks that have been on track so far.

FHgrad99 · PostPosted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:50 pm

I've seen pictures of the crowd from the track and the place is almost full for a practice session.

FHgrad99 · PostPosted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 11:23 pm

Jon Wes Townley is 7th in practice but has spun 3 times. Ron Hornaday is 9th but he got into the wall after making it 3 wide and passing two trucks. The only two trucks that haven't been on track from what I can tell are the #07 and the #93 trucks.

Is the practice on SPEED actually going to be live or is it the stuff that FH is describing?

edit: I guess it is live.
