Another accident claims Monkey truck
For the second week in a row, an accident took the TireMonkey.com No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado out of the running.
Driver Mario Gosselin’s truck became loose during lap 96 of the Too Tough To Tame 200 race on Saturday and struck the wall of the Darlington Raceway before clipping Ricky Carmichael’s No. 4 truck. Both trucks were unable to complete the race, and Gosselin finished in 23rd place.
Gosselin started the race in 23rd place after posting a time of 30.352 seconds at 162.019 mph on the South Carolina 1.366-mile oval. He climbed to 17th place by lap 20 before falling behind.
Also for the second week in a row, Todd Bodine took home the checkered-flag finish. Trailing were Timothy Peters of the No. 17 truck, Ron Hornaday of the No. 33 truck, Johnny Sauter of the No. 13 truck and Austin Dillon in the No. 3 truck.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ next stop is Bristol Motor Speedway for the O’Reilly 200 race on Wednesday.
