Truck Series: Tex Perry's Iowa Week 5 Review


In a Veterans Day race that seen at least 3 veterans take the green at Iowa. Retired Navy Seabee Veteran, Dave Daniels, would be the first to the checkered flag after 175 laps of wild racing action. Vets in the field would include Dave Daniels, in the #4 Kingsford Dodge. Army Engineer Veteran TEX Perry in the #7 BadWolf Dodge. And US Air Force Veteran Ben Geer in the #29 Cheez-It Chevrolet. Dave Daniels would take the pole for this event and chose the outside line to start the race. Alex Crapser would jump out to the early lead with Tony Pizzaro and Dave hangin not too far behind. TEX Perry battled early to try to lead a lap but would fall short due to the #29 of Geer spinning early. Tex would eventually lead his 1st lap under caution. Battles would ensue at the restart between the #10 of Crapser and #12 of Pizzaro with Daniels close in tow. Shortly after the restart the #7 of Perry would contact the #29 of Geer headed into turn 3 as Geer was avoiding contact with drivers in front of him. Both would head to the pits to repair damage from the incident. The long run would find Pizzaro with the lead and the #31 of Tim McDonnell close behind. Daniels and 2 place points runner, Rod Weston would follow shortly behind with TEX Perry and Crapser rounding out the leading pack. Pit stops would make the race as leaders cycled through under caution when the #29 spun and eventually retired. Pizzaro would again find himself in the lead with Daniels 2nd and Crapser 3rd followed by Weston and Perry. Weston and Perry would find their way by Crapser as quick as possible to try to close on the 2 leaders. eventually Daniels and Perry would find themselves at the front. Tim McDonnells solo spin would set up the final run tossing fuel mileage out the window. As Daniels and Perry would find themselves followed closely by Pizzaro and Weston to battle to the checkers. Daniels was asked afterwards about the final few laps and replied,"I looked in my mirror on the restart and I knew who was behind me so there was no way I was going to make it easy for them."  Perry when faced with the same questions remarked, "We were in radio contact the whole race. When Dave and I made it to the front and the final caution came out, I asked him [Daniels], You aint gonna make this easy are ya? And he said 'Oh he*l no.' and we both laughed. I knew he wanted his first Iowa win badly and I'm still looking for my first FDTS series win and had been really looking forward to getting here. I really think we had the truck to beat. We just got beat by tires tonight and a little Dave Daniels magic never hurt either."

Trucks head North to Victoria British Columbia this week to a brand new track to the series. Preseason testing has proved Victoria to be a very fast very competitive 2 lane track that should produce some of the best racing we'll see all season.
