TRUCKS: Caution free race at Pikes Pike gives series veteran Colin Dryburgh first last-place finish of his career



Colin Dryburgh picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series career in Monday's NAPA 300K at the Pikes Peak International Raceway when his #55 Icehouse Beer Ford completed all 19 laps under power.

The finish came in his 44th career series start. In the Truck Series's last-place rankings, it was the 28th for running at the finish and 2nd for the #55. Across SCRL's top three series, it was the 118th for running at the finish and the 2nd for #55.

Dryburgh has been a part of the Rainbow Dash Truck Series since the start, competing in the full twenty race inaugural series scoring one win at the Milwaukee Mile and coming just 90 points away from Jay Barker in becoming the first ever series champion. A return in Season 2 would see Dryburgh win two more times, at Richmond and the fall event at Phoenix, but would finish a disappointing 34th in points after competing in only 17 of the events.

After choosing to sit out the past two seasons, Dryburgh is back competing full time, driving for a new team, Gloy-Rahal Racing, and looking to grab the championship he narrowly missed out on. In his first race back, Dryburgh would finish a disappointing 26th at Homestead, a 14th at Phoenix, a runner up second to Nathan Ormond at Evergreen, a 18th at Mesa Marin, a second runner up, this time to Nick Holiday at Martinsville before finishing 11th in the last round at Memphis.

The entry list for the fifth time this season would be the usual 36 as Jamie Timber's team have no plans to make anymore starts until the tenth race of the season at Texas which means that no truck would fail to qualify for the third race in a row. 

In qualifying, Colin Cropley would score his first career series pole, posting a time of 27.049 seconds. Dryburgh would struggle in qualifying around the one mile track, posting a time of 27.313 seconds, 0.264 seconds behind Cropley's time, placing him 29th on the starting line up. Martinsville last-place finisher the #26 Mittler Brothers / American Trucking Ford of Derrick Edison would be the last to get in on speed, posting a time of 27.460 seconds, who was 0.411 seconds behind Cropley's lap time.

On race day, Edison was determined to not finish last for the second time this season as he would knock the #1 Mopar Performance Dodge of Angel Gutierrez back to last, who would trail for the first three circuits. Gutierrez would then knock the #87 AER Manufacturing Chevrolet of Josh Harmon into the final spot on Lap 4, a position he would hold for only one circuit before he knocked the #7 Conely Rent-a-Car Sales Chevrolet of Tyler Kepman into last on Lap 5. Kepman would trail for two circuits before knocking the #98 Porter-Cable Power Tools Ford of Al Lagasee into last on Lap 7, but his stay in the final spot would be short lived as well, as Lagasee would knock the #99 Exide Batteries Ford of Chakat Whitelion into the final spot on Lap 8. Whitelion would trail for two laps before shi would knock the #17 Hastings Premium Filters Ford of Lucien Bianchi into last on Lap 10 before he would knock Edison back into last for the second time on Lap 11.

Edison this time would trail for three circuits before knocking Dryburgh into last for the first time on Lap 14. Dryburgh would remain in last for three laps himself before knocking Harmon back to last on Lap 17, a spot that Harmon would hold entering the final lap, and would make the move in Turn 2, knocking Dryburgh back to last as Dryburgh would have no time to recover and would trail as the field took the checkered flag.
Pierson would be moved up one spot due to Hathaway's exit but that is all she would do, finishing two laps behind the race leaders when the checkered flag waved, placing her 35th.

The remaining Bottom Five were; 35th was the aforementioned #87 of Josh Harmon, 34th was the #14 Circle Bar Motel & RV Park of Michael Brown, 33rd was the aforementioned #17 of Lucien Bianchi and 32nd was the aforementioned #26 of Derrick Edison.

TRUCKS: Broken Piston gives Cameron Hathaway second last-place finish in a row at Memphis



Cameron Hathaway picked up the 2nd last place finish of his SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series career in Saturday's Memphis 200 at the Memphis Motorsports Park when his #86 RC Cola / King of the Hill American Dream Dodge fell out with piston problems after completing 12 of the 20 laps.

The finish, which came in his 33rd career series start, was his first on the circuit since the Season 4 Memphis 200 at the Memphis Motorsports Park when his #50 Grainger Ford fell out with camshaft issues after completing 12 of the 20 laps; 12 races ago. In the Truck Series's last-place rankings, it was the 1st for piston and 2nd for the #86. Across SCRL's top three series, it was the 2nd for piston and the 2nd for #86.

Hathaway is still making a name for himself in the SCRL, having found victory lane twice in his career but was still winless in the Truck Series after making his debut in Season 4. After driving for Roush Racing for one season, Hathaway was released from his ride, and he found a home driving for David Hodson and his Impact Motorsports team. Hathaway's second ever season in the Truck Series started with a disappointing 31st at Homestead, a 24th at Phoenix, 25th at Evergreen, 16th at Mesa Marin, before finishing 28th in the last round at Martinsville.

The entry list for the fourth time this season would be the usual 36 as Jamie Timber's team have no plans to make anymore starts until the tenth race of the season at Texas which means that no truck would fail to qualify for the second race in a row. In qualifying, Chakat Whitelion would score hir series tying third pole, posting a time of 23.266 seconds. Hathaway would once again struggle in qualifying, posting a time of 23.420 seconds, while only 0.154 seconds, it would place him 26th on the starting line up. The #0 Buyers Choice Chevrolet of Rogal Doran would be the last to get in on speed, posting a time of 23.592 seconds, who was 0.326 seconds behind Whitelion's lap time.

Hilda Pierson heads to pit road on the pace lap.
On race day, as the field would make it's pace lap, Homestead last-place finisher the #04 Chelsea Dodge of Hilda Pierson would suffer a flat tire and was forced to come to pit road as the field took the green flag, losing two laps before heading back out on track. With the lack of cautions coming out, it looked like Pierson would be heading to her second last-place finish in just six races, before the battle for last came to an end on Lap 12. At this point, Hathaway, who had fallen back to 27th, would slow in Turn 3 reporting he had lost power and would pull onto pit road and then into the garage, as the crew would look under the hood and found that the piston had broken, and with less than ten laps to go, there would be not enough time to replace it and send him back out, so the truck was retired, taking the final spot on Lap 16.

Pierson would be moved up one spot due to Hathaway's exit but that is all she would do, finishing two laps behind the race leaders when the checkered flag waved, placing her 35th.

The remaining Bottom Five would finish on the same lap as the race leaders; 34th was the #12 Team ASE / Ultra Wheels Ford of Reggie Fogleman, 33rd was the #51 Garage Doors of Naples Ford of Zachary Fitzwater and 32nd was the aforementioned #0 of Rogal Doran.

SCRLASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is the first time the #86 has finished last in a Truck Series race at Memphis.
*This is the first time the #86 has finished last in a Truck Series race since the Season 2 Loadhandler 200 at the Bristol Motor Speedway when Max Anderson's #86 Valvoline Instant Oil Change Ford fell out with engine problems after completing 21 of 50 laps; 74 races ago.

TRUCKS: Derrick Edison goes from pole sitter to last-place finisher at Martinsville



Derrick Edison picked up the 2nd last place finish of his SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series career in the May 16th NAPA 250 at the Martinsville Speedway when his #26 Mittler Brothers / American Trucking Ford fell out with camshaft problems after completing 5 of the 34 laps.

The finish, which came in his 75th career series start, was his first on the circuit since the Season 2 Western Auto 200 at the I-70 Speedway when his #26 Mittler Brothers Machine & Tool Ford fell out with camshaft issues after completing 14 of the 50 laps; 70 races ago. In the Truck Series's last-place rankings, it was the 12th for camshaft and 2nd for the #26. Across SCRL's top three series, it was the 17th for camshaft issues and the 2nd for #26.

Edison is one of the longest tenured drivers in the SCRL, not just in the Truck Series but the entire league. With appearances in all three of the SCRL's Top Three Series as well numerous series, Edison has been able to find victory lane three times but has yet to win a championship. Ever since making his debut in Season 2 at Homestead, where he would finish 19th, Edison has only driven for Mike Mittler's MB Motorsports for the past three seasons, and that relationship would continue at the start of Season 5, where Edison would start his season off with a 8th at Homestead. A 28th at Phoenix would be followed by a 34th at Evergreen before bouncing back to finish 10th in the last round at Mesa Marin.

The entry list for only the second time this season would be bumped up to 37 as Jamie Timber would attempt to make his second start of the season, after finishing 23rd in his previous start at Phoenix. No drivers would have to worry about not making the race as all thirty-seven drivers would be able to fit around the legendary 0.526 mile short track.

In qualifying, Edison would use his past experience from Martinsville in other series to score his first career series pole, posting a time of 20.629 seconds. The #2 Team ASE Racing of Dilan Ebrahimian would be the last to get in on speed, posting a time of 20.935 seconds, who was 0.306 seconds behind Edison's lap time.

On race day, Ebrahimian would trail for the first three turns before knocking the #7 Conely Rent-a-Car Sales Chevrolet of Tyler Kepman into the final spot. Kepman would keep hold of the final spot through the first caution before the #51 Garage Doors of Naples Ford was knocked back to the final spot for an unscheduled pit stop for a flat left rear tire. The very next lap the battle for last would come to an end as Edison, who had fallen back to second at the start of the race, began to smoke from the rear of his truck. Pulling to the inside of the track and trying to coast back to pit road, Edison would stall on the backstetch, forcing another two laps of caution to be added so he could be towed to the garage. It would take the took several laps before they diagnose the problem; a broken Camshaft, and their truck would listed as "out" on Lap 12.

It would take another twenty laps before the next three spots would be filled, as a multi-truck wreck would break out on the Frontstretch that would knock the #87 AER Manufacturing Chevrolet of Josh Harmon, the #15 Ortho Ford of Sebastian Palme and the #21 HS Die & Engineering Ford of Zachary DiLello out of the race, placing them 36th, 35th and 34th respectively.

Rounding out the Bottom Five in 33rd was the #98 Porter-Cable Power Tools Ford of Al Lagasee, who finished 2 laps down behind the race leaders.

For the first time in hir career, Duskwatcher chose to sign up and compete in the truck series, and was looking to get hir first championship. Duskwatcher's season started off with a decent 15th in hir debut at Homestead, and 8th at Phoenix before improving on hir best finish by finishing 4th in the last round at Evergreen.

The entry list for the second race in a row would be the full 36 truck field with none of the teams choosing to run new paint schemes. In qualifying, Sebastian Torres would score his first career series pole, posting a time of 18.594 seconds. Duskwatcher would struggle around the half mile short track, posting a time of 19.002 seconds, 0.408 seconds behind Torres's pole winning time, placing hir in 18th position. The #1 Mopar Performance Dodge of Angel Gutiérrez would be the last to get in on speed, posting a time of 20.338 seconds, who was 1.744 seconds behind Torres's lap time.

Ozkan would trail for two circuits before knocking the #24 GMAC Financial Services Chevrolet of Alexander Rowe into the final spot, as Rowe was trailing in last on Lap 5 when the battle for last came to an end. At this point, Duskwatcher had gained no track position and was still running in 18th when entering Turn 1, shi reported a flat tire, pulling to the inside of the track and would actually stall in Turn 2, however no caution would fly. Duskwatcher would be towed back to the pits, losing four laps in the process before being sent back out onto the track, losing another right after, and with no cautions flying during the event, Duskwatcher would remain in the final position as the race leaders took the checkered flag.

TRUCKS: Last lap spin at Evergreen gives Ashton Tifft his second last-place finish in a row



Ashton Tifft picked up the 2nd last place finish of his SCRL Rainbow Dash Truck Series career in Sunday's NAPACARD 200 at the Evergreen Speedway when his #38 Menards Chevrolet completed all 20 laps under power.

The finish, which occurred in his 3rd career series start, was his first on the circuit since the Chevy Trucks NASCAR 150 at the Phoenix International Raceway when he was eliminated in a two-truck accident after 4 of 15 laps; 1 race ago. In the Truck Series, it's the 2nd for the #38 and the 36th for running at the finish. Across all the series in the SCRL, it's the 2nd for the #38 and 116th for running at the finish.

After trailing the field for the first time in his career at Phoenix, Tifft's team traveled up the west cost to the Evergreen Speedway, the site of what would be the series historic 100th race.

The entry list for Evergreen would shrink back to 36 trucks as Jamie Timber's team decided to skip the event, not planning on competing in another race until Martinsville.

In qualifying the session would be rained out, forcing the field to be set by driver points, putting Zachary Fitzwater on the pole while Tifft would be placed 17th on the starting grid. Starting in the 35th and final spot would be the #26 Mittler Brothers / American Trucking Ford of Derrick Edison. One truck would fail to qualify, that being the #31 Auto Trim Design Ford of Kristian Bracken, as she is still looking for her first Top 20 finish after placing 35th at Homestead and 34th at Phoenix.

On race day, Edison's stay in the final spot would last only two circuits before he knocked the #44 Federated Auto Parts Ford of Mitchell Hodack into the final spot with Hodack trailing for the first lap but the next time around it would be the #14 Circle Bar Motel & RV Park Ford of Michael Brown who would be last across the line and the next lap it was the #7 Conely Rent-a-Car of Tyler Kepman who would be last across the line on Lap 3. The next time by, the race's first caution would fly when the #83 Gwaltney / FW Siebert Construction Ford of Max Anderson would spin out on the Frontstretch after contact from Juniper Skunktaur, collecting Homestead last-place finisher the #04 Chelsea Dodge of Hilda Pierson as well as Kepman.

Kepman would remain in the final spot through the caution laps and when the green flag came back out on Lap 10, he was determined to not trail for the first time in his career, knocking Pierson down to last on Lap 11. Pierson's truck, clearly damaged from taking a hit to the passenger door and almost flipping, would limp around the final spot until with two laps to go she knocked Edison back to last as it appeared Edison would be heading to his third truck series last-place finish as he took the white flag. But as the field entered Turn 1, Tifft, who had worked his way into 15th, would be spun out by the #46 Acxiom Ford of Sebastian Torres, bringing out the caution but since the drivers had already taken the white flag, a Green, White, Checkered finish wasn't going to happen, forcing Tifft to limp across the finish line 15.669 seconds behind the race leaders.

The remaining Bottom Five were; 34th was the aforementioned #26 of Derrick Edison, 33rd was the #04 of Hilda Pierson, 32nd was the #7 of Tyler Kepman and 31st was the #34 Sprint Prepaid Phonecard Dodge of Brian Fox.

The race's first caution would come on Lap 2 when the #26 Mittler Brothers / American Trucking Ford of Derrick Edison and the #83 Gwaltney / FW Siebert Construction Ford of Max Anderson would spin out on the Frontstretch, forcing drivers to make the whole lap having missed the caution flag. When the drivers took the caution, Tifft who had worked his way up to 15th by this point entered Turn 1 side-by-side with the #21 HS Die & Engineering Ford of Zachary DiLello, at which point DiLello would hook the right rear of Tifft's truck and turned him head on into the wall, causing Tifft's truck to lift all but one wheel of the ground before slamming back down to the pavement. While DiLello would drive away, Tifft's truck was destroyed beyond repair and would be towed back to the garage, his truck listed as "Out" by Lap 5.

Finishing 36th was the #1 Mopar Performance Dodge of Angel Gutiérrez, who suffered a broken Valve while running behind the pace truck during the caution flag.
