NASCAR Chevy Trucks Have Lackluster Run At Bristol: Video

The NASCAR Chevy Truck Series teams had a rather chaotic race on Thursday night at Bristol. Several of the Playoffs-eligible teams had less-than-ideal results, while others just simply didn’t have the speed to track the leaders.

The No. 71 NASCAR Chevy Silverado RST of Rajah Caruth led The Bow Tie brand on September 19th, 2024, finishing third behind race winner Layne Riggs’ No. 38 Ford F-150 and the runner-up No. 11 Toyota TRD Tundra of Corey Heim. Caruth won Stage 1 and catapulted himself from 10th in the standings to fifth, and is currently 35 points above the cutline to make the next round.

No. 2 and No. 19 NASCAR Chevy trucks on the track alongside the No. 52 NASCAR Toyota truck.

“We executed the race – just two spots short,” said Caruth, adding, “Man, I wish that was us” as Riggs did burnouts on the front stretch.

Daniel Dye, driver of the No. 43 Silverado, wrecked with Kaden Honeycutt’s No. 45 Silverado on Lap 157 of 200, relegating him to a 35th-place finish six laps down, a blow to his championship hopes.

Meanwhile, Corey Day, Sprint Car regular, finished 18th in his first Truck Series outing. He drove the No. 81 Silverado at Bristol. Connor Zilisch, rising star and last weekend’s Xfinity Series victor, raced the No. 7 NASCAR Chevy Truck to a 19th-place finish after spinning out on Lap 4.
