NASCAR Camping World in Atlanta

The NASCAR Camping World Series is the 3rd Division of NASCAR League. There’s 36 Drivers who participated in the race at Atlanta. The race was held on the 19th of March, 2022. The NASCAR Truck Series runs from Mid February to Early November including the Playoffs. Instead of having race cars it’s modified pickup trucks being racing vehicles. There’s 3 stage races which means the first 2 aren’t as long but the 3rd and final stage has more laps than the rest of the race.

All of the trucks like it’s rush hour

The Race was all lined up with trucks in a row of 2 before starting the race. When the pit crew truck got off the racetrack, the person at the white checker flag waved the green flag to start the race. During the first few laps, Matt DiBenedetto on the #25 truck slide the right side into the wall but managed to maintain his truck in the race. After the 2nd time, he had to go to pit stop because his truck already got some damage but no caution flag which it’s absurd. Before the halfway mark of the 1st Stage, Hailie Deegan #1 Truck almost lost control because of a minor tire issue but managed to survive the race. When Stage 1 was over, the Winner was Stewart Friesen the #52 Truck which John Enfinger the #27 truck driver almost got the stage win close to his tail. Right when the first stage was about to close, Hailie Deegan’s truck was on fire but her crew chief helped her made it out alive. During the 2nd Round there also a couple of issues with some of the trucks but no caution flag was up which the trucks had easier chance to maintain the focus on the race.When Stage 2 was over, the caution finally came out and the Winner was John JH Nemechek the #4 truck. The debris was in on right edge of the track and it was from the #41 Truck Chas Rostein.
