The Daytona truck race went as expected

Results for the promotional stars of the Daytona truck race were pretty poor.

Lawrence Garrett “Cleetus McFarland” Mitchell spun and wrecked himself after six laps. He was crestfallen and contrite and embarrassed in his care center interview, and he clearly has love of the game. I’ll give him that, but what I won’t give him is how seemingly surprised he was by being taken three-wide at Daytona. The dude is just not ready for this.

As for Tony Stewart, his truck was also destroyed, but by someone else losing control next to him and sandwiching him into the wall. It was not a very good debut for the RAM/Kaulig program overall.

I was excited to see Carson Hocevar commanding the race early, but he ended up losing track position over and over again due to repeated punctures.

Chandler Smith won in a finish that was certainly exciting, but it was also goofy. They were crawling all over each other. In short, it was the Daytona truck race.
