The Truck Series is where the future stars of the FOFC Racing Series will get their start. Drivers that finish in Top 5 of the truck series point standings will get the opportunity to move up to the Sprint Cup Series if a spot is available. If the driver who finishes in the top 5's owner already has two drivers in the Cup Series, they will have the option to replace one of their Sprint Cup drivers with their Truck Series driver. Owners in the top 5 with no Cup drivers will get the first chance at moving up. Owners who already have one driver will have the opportunity to move up after owners with no drivers have taken their positions. Finishing in the top 5 does not guarantee a promotion, if the Cup drivers who finish in the bottom 5 only have 1 driver they will be demoted currently.

The Truck Series will not have playoffs like the Sprint Cup Series does. We will have 10 races in the Truck Series with the leader at the end of 10 races being crowned champion.

Make sure to also follow the Sprint Cup Series where the top drivers in the FOFC Racing Series race.

The Camping World Truck Series will get underway on Monday, May 18th with the running of the Daytona 250. There is still time for new drivers to enter.

[britrock88]

Stats in!

[wolverine29]

Bob Fulton and Dexter Jackson Jr. are ready to get going in the trucks. This is Bob's last chance at his dream of racing in the cup series, 46 year olds don't get too many chances.

[Lord Letto]

done driver apps and sent in Stats today, Now to Wait for the Season to start and wonder how the Paints for my trucks will look.

THE PROMOTION SYSTEM

We now have 7 drivers in the Truck Series whose owners do not have a driver in the Cup Series. These drivers are Max Gresham, Connor Root, Chris Kizer, Will Kizer, Jeremy Letto, JR Fitzpatrick and Thomas Carrano. frow98 owns the cars of Gresham and Root. The Kizer is the owner of the Kizer brother's cars. Lord Letto owns Jeremy Letto and JR Fitzpatrick's trucks and thmscrrn3 is the owner of Thomas Carrano's truck. If any one of these drivers finish in the Top 5 of the Truck Series standings they will be eligible for promotion to the Cup Series. Only one driver for each owner will be eligible this season even if two finish in the top 5.

Any driver that finishes in the bottom 5 of the Cup Series standings will be at risk for demotion. This season, however, we will only allow demotion of drivers whose owner has two cars in the series. If a driver finishes in the bottom 5 but only has one car in the Cup Series they will not be eligible for demotion.

For future reference, past champions of the Cup Series will automatically be exempt from any demotions.

The Daytona 250 will be run tomorrow. Make sure to get your stats in.

What a race today to get the Truck Series started. 18 drivers swapped the lead 70 times in the 100 lap race. It was back and forth all day and somehow no caution flags flew. Gustav Nielsen found himself up front the most, leading 26 laps, but he was shuffled back at the end and finished 23rd. Jeremy Letto took the lead with only two laps left and held off challenges from B.L. Zebub to take the checkered flag.

I'll post highlights from the race later tonight.

[Coffee Warlord]

Good lord. Lead 26 of 100 laps and finish third to last. C'mon Gustav. You're driving a Guinness car, you need to do better.

Magnus, we forgive. He's the B driver in the shitty Budweiser car. But if you're in a Guinness car, you're expected to perform.

[cmp]

Made one mistake on there, B Long is actually Bob Fulton. I'll get that fixed when I update tonight and post standings and highlights.

[britrock88]

Well, heck, it was basically 2-3 wide the whole way through!

As you will see in the video, I wasn't able to get the #01 for Qwikshot before the race so he is driving an unsponsored all black #01 car.

[britrock88]

Good on B.L. to ride that inside line as well as he did.

[Jacktop]

Top tens from both Landon and Jack is a great way to start the season. Also good to see fellow RPM Garages driver Will Kizer in 5th.

[wolverine29]

Not a great day for my guys. We'll need to step it up.

[cmp]

Connor Root looked like a guy who is determined to find his way to the Cup Series next season. After starting 11th, Connor moved his way up and led 98 of the days 167 laps on his way to the victory. Only two other drivers finished the race on the lead lap. Connor's teammate Max Gresham finished 2nd and Will Kizer finished 3rd. Jack Topper was 4th and Chuck Long finished 5th.

It was another clean race with only one caution and every driver making it to the checkered.

Will Kizer takes the points lead after his 3rd place finish at Texas. Connor Root is 2nd, J.R. Diamond 3rd, Chuck Long 4th and Jeremy Letto has the final promotion spot in 5th.

[tarcone]

What a points race. 3 tied in that 3rd spot. Chuck Long has been solid. He wants to take a spot from Kinnick or Grey.

[frow78]

What a finish for Payntor-Alaxaco Racing! Max and Connor both had great runs today in their sweep of the top 2. Hopefully they can carry on the momentum in following weeks.

[The Kizer]

What a great start to the season for Will Kizer. A 5th and a 3rd is awesome. If this keeps up he will be getting that Cup ride next year. Is it too early to start working on the Cup car?

[cmp]

With the holiday weekend coming up we will be on a short hiatus until Tuesday. The next race will be run Tuesday afternoon.

[cmp]

The racing resumes today.

[cmp]

Myrtle Beach, SC - Today we headed to the half mile short track in Myrtle Beach for the first ever running of the Myrtle Beach 200. On the pole for today's race was Chris Kizer. Kizer's brother Will is the current Truck Series point leader heading into the race and the Kizer brother's trucks look to have a lot of power. Early on Kizer led from the green flag and showed right away he would have a contending truck all day long. After leading for around the first 50 laps, Coy Duke in his #00 truck came up and took the lead. Duke started the day back in 11th and quickly moved his way up. Duke would lead for the next 58 laps before we hit green flag pit stops. His stop was a bit slow and he came out of the pits 3rd, behind new leader Max Gresham and Chris Kizer. Duke would never get higher than 3rd again. Gresham took control and that point and held off Kizer for most of the race. But, with 12 laps left, Kizer made a great move to the inside of Gresham to take the lead and looked to be on his way to victory. Gresham wasn't done however and took the lead back from Kizer only a few laps later and held him off the rest of the way to take the victory by 0.15 seconds. This is the 2nd straight win for Payntor-Alaxaco Racing after Connor Root won at Texas.

Homer Simpson, in the #33 Skoal car, owned by HomerSimpson98, made his debut today finishing 11th.

Great to see Jack at the top of the points. If he keeps this up and finishes in the top 5 and Zach or Kellen struggle in Cup maybe I'll have him move up and take one of their rides.

[frow78]

Another win for Payntor-Alaxaco racing. Gresham showed he was a contender today, getting his first victory of the season. Root and Gresham are lurking in a solid 4th and 5th in the points, hopefully the good luck continues.

[HomerSimpson98]

THis is so awesome - wish I would have found this earlier! Thanks for running this and letting me be apart of it.

Solid run for the Skoal truck in our inaugural run.

The leaders need to tell those lapped car jerkoffs to get the F out of the way, dammit!!

[wolverine29]

Old Man Bob Fulton just can't get it done. Maybe the old age has caught up with him.

[The Kizer]

Great run for Chris!

[cmp]

The last few laps of this race felt like a superspeedway race the way drivers shuffled positions. Heading into the final lap, Gustav Nielsen had the lead but fell all the way back to a 9th place finish. The battle for the win ended up between Jackson Pace and J.R. Diamond. Pace, with 5 Cup races under his belt, was able to hold off the youngster Diamond to take the win. 14 drivers finished within a second of the lead. Connor Root, who led the most laps on the day with 47, finished 11th.

Jack Topper continues to lead followed by Will Kizer, Dexter Jackson Sr., J.R. Diamond and Connor Root has the final promotion spot.

Looks like a interesting Race! Top 14 was a Second or Less from the Leader and the Last Truck on the Lead Lap in 22nd was 2.22 Seconds behind the Leader!

There we go Dexter!

[Jacktop]

So Nicholson just isn't very good. Maybe that's to be expected from an 18 year old kid. Topper on the other hand is staying consistent and keeping on top of the points. And the two other RPM Garages drivers, the Kizer brothers, have both shown they can race so at least 3 of the 4 drivers in the team are running well.

[HomerSimpson98]

Nice run for the 33 car. I wonder what my idiot driver did to drop from 3rd to 8th in 1 lap with 6 to go. Take the wrong line I guess, I dont know, but he did a great job in fighting back for a top 5 finish.

All-Star Race Announcement

After our 6th race of the season, the Coors 400 from Colorado, will be holding our very first ever FOFC Racing All-Star race from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The race will feature all race winners from the FOFC Sprint Cup Series' first two seasons as well as all race winners from the FOFC Camping World Truck Series. The current entrants are listed below.

Al Cohallik
Bo Duke
Benton Gale
Comrade Twelve
David Ginsberg
Deacon Palmer
Hawk Grey
Jace Hunter
Mustafa Henderson
Patrick Hutt
Rex D'Car
Red Neckanback
Rob Nielsen
Stroker Ace
Wallace Bryant

Connor Root
Jackson Pace
Jeremy Letto
Max Gresham

The race will be a 40 lap shootout. The winner won't receive any points but will get bragging rights as the very first ever All-Star race winner as well as a cool $250,000 bonus to add to their career earnings. This will also give Truck Series drivers a chance to prove their worth against the Cup drivers. One more race for each series remains before the All-Star race so if drivers do not have a win yet they better get going at Colorado or Bristol.

Drivers without a victory we also have one final shot at making it to the All-Star race. Before the race we will hold a qualifying race for both the Sprint Cup and Truck Series. These races will only include drivers who do not have a victory. The winner of each race will also gain an entry into the All-Star race. These races will be 20 lap shootouts.

Friday, June 5 - Sprint Cup Series Race #8 - Cheez-It 355 - Watkins Glen

[Lord Letto]

just wondering (Considering I have a driver in it), Will the Truck Drivers have to choose a Car for the All Star Race or will the Car Drivers need to choose a Truck? or will it be pre-determined what will be driven for who? if it's Truck Drivers choosing a Car, how do we go about choosing one considering it may only be a 1 time use if the driver don't get promoted at the end of the season? unless it's possible to have a 6th Promo Slot if it's a Truck Driver who wins the All-Star Race in a Car?

[cmp]

Right now my plan is to use cars from ones I have downloaded. If you a car in my mind that I can download I will get that one for you. I might even be able to get one painted in time if you have something in mind you like. It would just have to not be one of the numbers or sponsors already in our Cup series.

Well my Number in Trucks is 24 so it would be nice to have the 24 for the Cup Car for the All Star Race, the Cup Driver of the 24 isn't in the All Star Race and isn't doing very good in general, maybe if things go my way and I get promoted and if the current driver walks to a different Car/Team then maybe I could get the 24 when I start in the Cup Series, only time well tell though.

[cmp]

Once Max Gresham found his way to the front just before the half way mark today, no one else stood a chance. Gresham was dominate, leading 106 of the days 200 laps as he went to his 2nd victory on the season. In 2nd was Coy Duke, 3rd was Connor Root who led 32 laps, 4th was Jack Topper who led 50 laps and 5th was Dexter Jackson Jr.

All-Star Day

Race #1

Truck Series Qualifying Race

All-Star kicks off with the running of the truck series qualifying race. After a terrific 20 lap shootout, Will Kizer passed Russ Wheeler in the race's final lap to take the win and get a spot in the FOFC All-Star Race.

FOFC All-Star Race

Now for the main event. On the pole for the 40 lap all-star race was Rob Nielsen. In 2nd was Truck series driver Jackson Pace. Early on the racing action was intense as a big crash on lap 5 occurred that knocked out Rob Nielsen, Magnus Nielsen, Max Gresham, and Mustafa Henderson. From there Jackson Pace led for 9 laps before Bo Duke took over. Duke was dominate. He constantly was challenged by the likes of Deacon Palmer, Will Kizer, and Benton Gale but refused to give up the lead as he led 22 laps and took the victory in the very first ever FOFC Sprint Cup All-Star race. Benton Gale came home 2nd, truck series driver Will Kizer was 3rd. Deacon Palmer was 4th followed by truck series drivers Connor Root and Jeremy Letto in 5th and 6th. Truck series drivers raced extremely well as they took 4 of the top 8 positions.

[Lord Letto]

Not a Bad Run, .04 from a Top 5, but was still in the Top 1/3 and less than half a second from the Leader at the End!

[Jacktop]

If Jack wins the title I may have no choice but to replace Kellen with him.

[cmp]

You never know which drivers are going to step up when you head to the road course. Today, the driver who dominated was Bob Fulton. Bob led 40 of the race's 50 laps and was able to hold off a challenge from D.J. Kennington in the race's final laps to take the victory. Kennington was 2nd, Connor Root was 3rd, JR Fitzpatrick 4th and Gustav Nielsen 5th.

[Lord Letto]

Team Letto had a Good Running today, 1 on the Podium, another in the top 5 and another in the top 10 that put Jeremy Letto in the #24 back in the Top 5 in points with a 2 way tie for 4th! Hopefully he holds on to move into the Sprint Cup next Season!
4 Races left, and 1 of them is at a Super Speedway, I'm hoping to see Jeremy Letto win there like how he won at Daytona!

[wolverine29]

Old Man Bob! He still has a bit left in the tank after all.

[Jacktop]

Jack loses the lead after a terrible day. He's just not a road racer I guess.

[cmp]

The next race will be tomorrow.

[frow78]

Wow, great run in the all star race against all the cuppers for #39. We're having a great run here in the trucks, knocking off top 5's and leading the points. Great battle for the win at Watkins Glen BTW, congrats to the winner.

[cmp]

We had some great racing today at the Armory Digital Superspeedway. 46 lead changes among 17 drivers made for some exciting racing. No one driver was dominant, Gustav Nielsen led the most laps with 16, so all that mattered today was putting yourself in the right position when the laps started to tick down. Russ Wheeler was able to get himself to the front and held off B.L. Zebub to score the victory.

http://s29.postimg.org/adnmip2mf/7_AD.png

With only 3 races remaining, Connor Root holds the lead by only 6 points over Dexter Jackson Jr. Max Gresham is 3rd, B.L. Zebub 4th and Jeremy Letto holds the final promotion spot in 5th.

[britrock88]

So close!

[Lord Letto]

Hmm, I was expecting Jeremy Letto to do better considering he Won at Daytona and both tracks are Super Speedways, but I guess he led the 2nd most laps so I can't really complain besides being 1-2 laps shy from most laps led for more bonus points.

The Coors 200 will be run today.

The shortest track on the circuit, the Colorado National Speedway, was site of today's Coors 200. On the pole was Dexter Jackson Jr who led 45 laps before giving the lead up to Chris Kizer who was able to lead 65 laps. From there, Jack Topper took the lead and didn't look back, leading 87 laps and taking the victory. Rico Herky was 2nd followed by Jeremy Letto, B.L. Zebub and Chris Kizer.

Dexter Jr. still has a shot at the title here. The #94 truck is going to be strong.

[Jacktop]

Victory!

[cmp]

The second to last race in Season 1 of the Camping World Truck Series featured some terrific racing. Connor Root, Coy Duke and Will Kizer battled it out for the win for most of the race. Root led 78 laps, Duke led 35. As the race wound down, Root was able to get through lapped traffic and take a small advantage, which was needed as Coy Duke had the much faster car the last few laps and may have been able to overtake Root with 1 or 2 more laps. Root picked up his 2nd win of the season and now is very close to becoming the very first FOFC Truck Series champion.

http://s24.postimg.org/3l030xxph/9chi.png

[cmp]

Only 1 race remains. If Connor Root finishes in the top 20 at Homestead he will be your Season 1 champion. Root has essentially locked up a promotion as well. In 2nd place is Jeremy Letto, 25 points back. 3rd is Dexter Jackson Jr, 27 points. Both are still mathematically alive for the title but need a lot of luck. The battle now becomes to see who will get in the top 5 to become promotion eligible. 4th place currently is Jack Topper with B.L. Zebub and Brett Hawkins tied for 5th.

I'm not exactly sure what the issue was but Zebub took an unscheduled pit stop and everyone else stayed out. Must have had a flat tire or something.

[Lord Letto]

Top 5 Finish in the Race and currently 2nd in Points with 1 race left, a Better Rookie Season than I was Expecting! any idea on when the homestead race will be? What would it take (Besides Luck) to become the Champ?, Clearly Connor Root would need a DNF/20something Finish.

If Letto wins and leads the most laps and Root finishes 22nd or worse without leading a lap, Letto is the champ. If Letto won and led the most laps and Root finished 21st without leading a lap it would be a tie. If Letto finishes 2nd and leads a lap, Root would have to finish last without leading a lap for Letto to win. If he finished last but led a lap it would be a tie.

[cmp]

Homestead should be run on Friday.

[Lord Letto]

If Letto wins and leads the most laps and Root finishes 22nd or worse without leading a lap, Letto is the champ. If Letto won and led the most laps and Root finished 21st without leading a lap it would be a tie. If Letto finishes 2nd and leads a lap, Root would have to finish last without leading a lap for Letto to win. If he finished last but led a lap it would be a tie.
Well, Looking at how he done in the Past at the type of track Homestead is (1.5 Mile Speedway), I'd Need a Miracle, Congratz on Being Champ Root

Just a Comparison from the 1.5 Mile Races (Including the All Star Race)
Texas 250: C Root Started 11th & Won, J Letto Started 5th and Finished 14th 3 laps back
All Star Race: C Root Started 13th Finished 5th, J Letto Started 19th finished 6th, 0.03 Second Gap
Last Race, Pepsi 250 @ Chicagoland: C Root Started 11th and Won, J Letto Started 3rd, Finished 5th 8.22 Seconds Behind Root after managing to lead 2 Laps

Tomorrow is Championship Friday! The Ford EcoBoost 200 will be run from Homestead.

[cmp]

All day it was three cars that ran up front, Vance Duke and D.J. Kennington traded the lead while Connor Root sat behind them in 3rd. That was until the final green flag stops of the day. With only four laps remaining, Duke, Kennington, Root and others all needed to make their final stops for fuel. Not everyone needed to make the stop, however, as 6 drivers, Chuck Long. Gustav Nielsen, Coy Duke, Will Kizer, Landon Nicholson, and Max Gresham all had enough fuel to make it the distance. Long was able to lead the final 4 laps to take the win.

Connor Root ended up with a 15th place finish, but that was all he needed to do in order to wrap up the title.

Connor Root is your Season 1 Truck Series Champion. Jeremy Letto finished 2nd and Will Kizer came in 3rd. All 3 of those drivers will be moving up to the Cup Series next season. In 4th was B.L. Zebub who becomes promotion eligible but can only replace one of his Cup series teammates. The same for 5th place Chuck Long.

Woot! Chuck Long sneaks in. Led 4 laps and it was the right 4.
Looks like Godzilla Motorsports has a decision to make.

Wow. Looking at the points, the only way Long gets in is if he wins and Jackson, jr. Finishes last. And that is exactly what happened. Crazy.

Man what a tough day. Dexter Jr almost joined his dad in cup. Now we will have three drivers next year with Ricky Anderson joining trucks.

Announcement out of Godzilla Motorsports headquarters.

Team Owner Tarcone has announced that Chuck Long will move up to the Sprint Cup and replace Nile Kinnick. Kinnick will race in the Truck series to hone his skills.
