PRO-4 - Round One

The start saw Johnny Greaves in his Monster Energy Potowatomi BFGoodrich Tires Toyota take the lead coming out of turn one. In quick pursuit were Renezeder, Douglas, and Huseman. At the mandatory yellow Renezeder pulls off with driveline problems. After the restart, Scott Douglas in his AMSOIL Sycuan Casino Kumho Tire Ford is looking to find a way around Greaves. After a couple of laps, tries to pass Greaves on the inside going into turn two. Both truck touch, sending Douglas rolling into and over the K-Rail outside of turn two.  The final two laps saw Greaves unchallenged to the checkers.

 

As Greaves headed for the victory podium, Douglas met Greaves in his truck,  and unleashed a few stout words about the contact the two had causing Douglas' early exit.

PRO-2 - Round One

Rob MacCachern grabbed the holeshot in his first drive in the Barlow Racing Red Bull BFGoodrich Tires Ford F-150. Behind "Mac" there was quite a bit of bumping. Dan Vandenhuvel and Ricky Johnson didn't make turn two as rear suspension damage due to contact ended his day early.  As the mandatory yellow approached, suddenly an energy drink battle broke out. Todd LeDuc  in his Rockstar Skyjacker Toyo Tires Ford made a great move to pickup two spots and the lead. Then Jerry Whelchel in his Monster Energy Wide Open Baja BFGoodrich Ford entered the battle with all three truck swapping positions.

 

At the finish it was 1st - Red Bull, 2nd - Monster, and 3rd - Rockstar.

Baldwin Cup PRO-4 Qualifier

On the pole was Johnny Greaves, looking to go two-for-two on the day, but Renezeder and Douglas, in his backup truck, had other ideas.

 

The start Rick Huseman in his Fabtech BFGoodrich Tires Toyota grabbed the lead with Carl Renezeder in his Lucas Oil BFGoodrich Chevy on his bumper. As for Greaves, he stalled the engine as the start and came out out turn one almost dead last. On lap five Renezeder got around Huseman as his hood came loose, making almost impossible to see out the front of the truck. Then Douglas lost the front drive and retired. At the yellow, Huseman pulled into the pits to remove his hood, and now Greaves had made his way into second place, with Ricky Johnson in third.

 

When racing resumed, it was an epic battle between  Greaves and Renezeder. The last two laps saw the two champions race side by side,  making contact with each other, as they passed each for the lead. As the two headed into the final set of grandstand jumps, Greaves made the pass stick and beat Renezeder to the checkered flag.  It was an incredible first race for the NBC Sports crew  to cover.
