Ijeremy On A Roll !!!!
Takes Craftsman’s American 200 at Atlanta!!!

WOW Nuffers…..only 3 Cautions over 130 laps ?!?!?!
Another great night of racing as Ijeremy continues his hot
pace….taking the number 5 truck to victory lane for the second
consecutive Craftsman Truck Race….the American 200 at a very fast
Atlanta Motor Speedway !!

Ijeremy fought off challenges all night long…with BigMike (#86)
racing strong and of course…the Tazzzzzman (#29) is always up front.
Those three fought all night long…with BigMike leading most of the
laps…gaining 10 bonus points. BigMike also took the pole with a
strong 28.868 lap during qualifying. But Ijeremy has a way of being
a spoiler….In the cup Chase…Abbotttazz dominated the Nextel Series
race last weekend at The Glen….but Jeremy snuck past Tazz on the
final lap to sneak away with the win….and here…Bigmike took the
pole…and led the most laps…but Jeremy pulled away at the end for a
2+ second win…..finishing very strong !!!! CONGRATS JEREMY !!!!!!

BigMike finished second and Abbott rounded off the top 3. I tell
you…..anyone of those three could have easily won this one. Just
great strategic racing. At one point….Mwils watched them shoot by
around turn 4…and approaching the start/finish line….”they looked
like Air Force Jet’s in the triangle formation” Bigmike was up front
and close behind…side by side were Jeremy and Abbott….. Just
impressive.
Soon after…mwils would see a line of 3 cars…Buster, Pink and the
gift…running smoothly and really not that far from the front running
triangle.
Yaaaa…Mwils saw a lot of cars pass by him last night!! Matter of
fact…at one point…mwils moved over to let the leaders by…and within
2 laps…they were coming through again!!! “Hey….didn’t you guys just
pass me???”…..”Yeah” laughed Abbott….”Just make sure you stay outta
da way”….lol “How do you fix a truck that’s tight AND loose at the
same time?!?!?!?!” LOL…Welllllll…..Wils only caused 1 caution
though he had minimal control all night long!!
OK…back to da race…Buster and Pink took 4th and 5th
place. Buster had to make an early pit as he was “pushing” too
much….but he made the right adjustment and finished strong. The long
green runs just didn’t give Buster enough opportunity to catch the
speedy threesome of Jeremy, Abbot and Bigmike. Pink was also
strong…running with Buster during the long green runs and as
usual….staying nice and clean. Thegift…who also ran well during the
first half of the race….then he started having a few handling
problems during the second half but still finished 6th.
We lost KMack to an early disconnect and unfortunately…we couldn’t
get Pitt Steeler connected. So they finished 8th and 9th
respectively.
All in all….a good night !!!!
