Race Replay (available up to 1 week after the race)
The FLR Facet-Purolator Trucks continued the chase for the season 2 championship last Friday night at the Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Miami 250.
Mitchell Hunt continued his streak of pole positions with a blistering 32.417 qualifying lap. Starting outside Mitchell was Joe Slama with a 32.514. Hunt got off to a fast start leading, for the most part, the first 20 laps before Joe Slama reeled him in on lap 21. Joe led the next several laps before the 2nd caution of the night on lap 33. Most of the field took advantage of the caution for fresh tires and a full tank of fuel.
Pit stops enabled Hunt to regain the lead on the restart. Pit road adjustments allowed him to retain that lead for the next 40 laps or so. A couple cautions during that period came from self-spins, the final coming on lap 75, which again brought the entire field down pit road for fresh tires and fuel.
On the restart it appeared several teams made good adjustments during their pits. Christopher Shetzler, being one of them, was able to get out front and lead a large pack for a few laps before AJ Beckwith said excuse me and made his way to the front for a few laps. Mitchell Hunt then regained the lead for a few laps before Jeremy Cross came up front to lead several laps. At this point it seemed perhaps Hunt was losing his momentum as the best battle of the night raged on between several trucks for the lead.
This battle went on until the last caution of the night waved on lap 106. This was the point of the race that Hunt must have made his critical adjustment as he would eventually get past Cross and Sheltzer for the lead, one he never relinquished.
Congratulations on the win Mitchell and to our top 5 finishers:
1. Mitchell Hunt
2. Joe Slama
3. Jeremy Cross
4. Christopher Shetzler
5. Lance Williams

You must accept or protest any warnings with your name on them below. Accept by replying to this thread stating you accept your penalty. File an appeal as instructed above.Total Penalties (number of penalties in parenthesis) - Points if any:Lap 2: Ron Hilling and Bobby keeth make contact sending Ron into the wall in T3. This is too difficult for me to blame on any one driver as it looks like Ron had to duck down a bit to avoid a slow car up high and Bobby ran his normal line for the most part.-
Racing Deal.
Lap 33: Jason Sherrill self-spin #1 loses it entering the pit access road, spinning back onto the track into other trucks -
Warning Jason Sherrill - 2x.
Lap 43: Jason Sherrill self-spin #2 and Corey Card self-spin #1 both spin in/out of T2. I don’t know if Jason’s spinning truck caused Corey to flinch, sending him spinning into the wall or what. It doesn’t look like any other cars were involved, so we’ll just call this a 1x for each driver -
Warning Jason Sherrill - 1x -
Warning Corey Card - 1x. Jason’s initial spin did not bring out the caution, so he was able to continue racing.
Lap 49: Fred Phillips get loose out of T2 and ends up getting into Jeff Ramsdell who wrecks -
Warning Fred Phillips - 2x.
Lap 75: Jason Sherrill self-spin #2 -
Warning Jason Sherrill 2x. Thanks for parking after your 2nd Jason.
Lap 106: Michael Moose pulls of the track and parks, causing a caution. Please folks, stop doing this!!! I can see Michael tried to pull well off the track, however it still brought out a caution. If you have to park, pull on to pit road, then stop -
Warning Michael Moose 1x.
