Except for when Mark Martin is racing, the Craftsman Truck series has been a Toyota show this year. Saturday's Kansas race was shaping up to be more of the same. Mike Skinner won another pole. Points leader Todd Bodine didn't pass inspection before qualifying and had to start last.
Mike Skinner-#5 Toyota led the first part of the race. The red flag came out when Kelly Sutton-#02 Chevy crashed hard into the inside wall. The safety crew had to cut the roof off to get her out of the truck and she was taken to hospital. It was very similar to Jeff Fuller's crash at the Busch Series race at Kentucky two weeks ago. Kentucky is replacing the concrete inside wall with SAFR barriers and Kansas should do that too.
Terry Cook-#10 Powerstroke Deisel Ford stayed out when everyone else pitted with 40 laps left. He strung out his lead to win the race. Rick Crawford-#14 Circle Bar Truck Stop Ford finished second. And a career best finish for Aussie Marcos Ambrose-#20 Team Australia Ford in third. So the Toyota domination stops in Kansas. Todd Bodine finished seventh and still leads the points.
