(LDS/SS) Nashville Pre-Race

Helms: Obviously, I have a lot of work to do If I'm to recover from this poor qualifying run.

Theodor: I'm sure everything will play out for the guys and gals at the shop.

Ruiz qualified well

Timothy Ruiz will start in the front of the pack after sitting out last week race. Ruiz season have been mediocre, with crashes and tire issue. After his pole in his previous race, he went on and struggle with tire issue and was fuming against his crew. Ruiz have told them a few more screw ups, they will be out of a job. Ruiz is hoping to rebound from his collapse from last week. Paul will be attending as well and his brother will attempt to qualify next week against Timothy.

Herrington and Maret have promising qualifications
After many hours of tinkering with their trucks and getting them prepped and tested, they took the newly finished trucks for a spin. Results after a 25-lap practice consisting of just the two team members projected good for the Nashville race soon to come.

As qualifying hit, both drivers expressed concern after practice showed that their tyres had received terrible amounts of wear. Eric Herrington (35) however, stormed the field anyways and took a fourth place qualifying effort even after being a bit worried his tyres might give out.

Shortly after qualifying, both drivers tested out a newer type of tyre, and that proved their trucks were even faster than once thought, and wear was not nearly as significant.

"I do hope after another practice run-" Herrington began to state "-that these trucks and their tyres exceed our expectations. I know, for the sake of Wes and I, we'll do our best, even if our tyres fail."

More to come as race day begins.
