(LDS) Race 1 - Smash Beer Icebreaker

After grabbing 12th in qualifying, Timothy Ruiz would get involved in an incident that resulted in a 40th place finish with a DNF to add insult to injury. Timothy Ruiz was not happy with his performance and said that he "hopes TM Master Cup goes better". Yes, Timothy Ruiz, only entering his 3rd season has been called up to TM Master Cup Series, bypassing TM Light. He's set to drive the #33 in that series. As for who would pilot the #212 while Timothy Ruiz is out of the ride? Well, it would be Xavier Ruiz. We'll see if Xavier does well in the 212 and prove his worth in the future.

Radcliff speaks on incident
Nicholas Radcliff, the Canadian truck driver who led most of the points season in trucks, but ultimately was beat out by Archer Helms has been given a ride in the #2 Smash Beer car for the season.

During the Smash Beer Icebreaker, there was certainly a big smash. After a wreck had occured, the window net began coming loose and Radcliff tried to fix it. As he did so, he smashed right into the back of a slow car and that ended his race.

With a beer from Smash in his hands, "I am just disgruntled that this even happened. My one day to make a great impression has already gone sour because of what, a WINDOW net?" -scoffs loudly-

"I drive better than this, and my truck stint would prove this. It is unfortunate my debut ended this way, but you haven't seen the last of me. That's for d*mn sure!"
