Throwback TRUCKS: Long time veteran Bulldog67 picks up first truck series last place finish after early camshaft problems at Colorado

Bulldog67 picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series career in the Season 1 Total Petroleum 200 at the Colorado National Speedway when his unsponsored #58 Wayne Jacks Racing Chevrolet fell out with camshaft problems after completing 8 of the 25 laps.

The finish came in his 11th career series start. 

At this point in his SCRL career, Bulldog67 had already proven himself, having finished second to Truttle in Season 1 of the then ONL NASCAR Legends Series, before winning the championship himself in Season 2, and was looking to transfer that same success over to the truck series as he signed up to complete on a part-time schedule, running only the big events and bypassing the short tracks. Bulldog67 finished 38th in his debut at Phoenix before finishing 11th at Tucson. Bulldog67 would sit out the next six races before returning at Bristol, where he finished 13th before finishing 34th in the last race at Milwaukee.

On race day, Bulldog67 would start 31st while starting last was the #87 Delco Remy America Chevrolet of Colin Dryburgh. The first five laps around the track would be intense as drivers battled back and forth for position, but on Lap 2 the #94 MAC Tools Ford of Jesse Turner made an unscheduled pit stop, reporting of problems with the engine, with the team looking it over and finding out they were done a cylinder. With orders to go back out and protect the truck as much as possible, Turner was sent back out on the track and told to ride around at half speed. During this time, the first caution would come out, and during that time, Bulldog67, would also find trouble, pulling into the pits and then the truck was listed as "out" just before the race went back green, a broken camshaft the reason the truck was pulled behind the wall.

Finishing 39th was the #74 Mesa Marin Raceway Chevrolet of HIPHOPANOUNMOUS, who would be involved in the event's third caution when him and the #87 of Colin Dryburgh would spin out and hit the pit road wall with the passenger side of their trucks. HIPHOP would be done for the day on that very lap, but Dryburgh was able to limp around for two more laps before pulling in himself, taking 38th.

The remaining Bottom Five would finish four laps down to the race leaders: 37th was the unsponsored #54 McEachern Racing Chevrolet of Jonathan King and 36th was the aforementioned #94 of Jesse Turner.
