Trucks: Early crash gives Jeff Bright first last place finish in the Truck Series

Jeff Bright picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series career in Monday's Chevy Trucks Challenge at the Walt Disney World Speedway when his #4 Link-Belt Construction Chevrolet was involved in a multi-truck crash after 9 of 22 laps.

The finish, came in Bright's 21st series start. Entering Season 3 of the Rainbow Dash Truck Series, Bright had some previous success as he had scored two wins in his career one in the SCRL Formula E Series(at Hockenheimring) and in the SCRL V8 Supercar Series(at Hidden Valley Raceway), both road course events.

On race day Bright would roll off the grid 36th while starting last was the #24 Quaker State Chevrolet of Sebastian Torres but as the field was rolling off pit road, the #2 Team ASE Racing Ford of Jay Jefferson would pull into his pit stall with his team raising the truck up on the jack, reporting a flat tire and if Jefferson's team didn't get him back out onto the track, Jefferson would be the first driver to not complete a lap in a truck series race since Charlie Foos trailed the field when he suffered engine problems in the Season 2 Kragen 151 at Sears Point Raceway.

Jefferson's team would fix the problem and get their truck back out onto the track but a few laps later a multi-truck crash would break out involving several trucks as Jeff Bright failed to slow down in time and ran into the back of the #1 Southern Pride Trucking Chevrolet of Gustavo Arocha as Jeff would be done for the day, pulling into the garage just a few seconds before his brother, the #21 Orleans Hotel & Casino Chevrolet of El Bright.

Rounding out the bottom five was 36th the #80 LCI Telecommunications Ford of Greg Lee, also involved in the same crash, but would complete one more lap before retiring. 35th went to the aforementioned #2 of Jay Jefferson, involved in a hard crash on the 15th circuit after contact from the #94 Super 8 Motel Ford of Jimmy Potter who would round out the bottom five, finishing on the same lap as race winner Carter Frisen
