Welcome to Season 1 of the FOFC Camping World Truck Series. If you would like to sign-up, head on over to our sign-up thread. FOFC Racing Sign-ups

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.

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.

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.

[cmp]

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!

[Lord Letto]

Sprague Lights Em up doing burnouts! - YouTube
Just Replace Jack Sprague with Jeremy Letto, Richmond with Daytona & 2001 with 2015!

Thanks

Won't be too late. I'll get a #16 car for Chuck.

[cmp]

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.

[cmp]

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.

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.

[cmp]

Jack Topper is the new points leader followed by Will Kizer, Connor Root, Max Gresham and Chuck Long.

[Jacktop]

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.

[cmp]

[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.

[cmp]

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

[Lord Letto]

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!

[cmp]

[wolverine29]

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

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

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.

[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.

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.
