Josh is in the blue Class 1 (Class 15 BITD), closer to the camera, passing Robert Acer in the Trophy Truck... Josh told me today that was a very cool
moment, and he glanced over to Acer who gave Josh (in the co-driver seat) an acknowledgement hand 'nod'.

Bummer! They were doing great and came to a stop at Checkpoint 1 as required, the race car behind them (#1542) did not stop and rammed them from
behind. 1517 may be too badly damaged to continue? We are watching and waiting...David K - 3-14-2015 at 04:52 PM
YES! 79 mph!! Back in the race!!David K - 3-14-2015 at 05:54 PM
128 mph at RM 75... David K - 3-14-2015 at 07:03 PM
OK, they completed one lap (122 miles)... with 2 more to go... Lights on, it just got dark in Nevada! Go Josh!!Ken Cooke - 3-15-2015 at 08:36 AM
How did the race turn out for Josh?David K - 3-15-2015 at 09:45 AM
Hi Ken, we were up to midnight following #1517... which was moving along, but back about in the middle of the pack. To finish would be great. Josh
texted that he an Ross Mattox got out after Lap 1 and turned the racer over to their teammates. They had originally planned on running the first two,
and leting the others drive the last lap. Laps are 122 miles. Lap 1 beat them up so bad (getting slammed in the rear at Checkpoint 1 didn't help) they
were thrashed after 122 miles.
I just looked at all the Internet sites I could find, and only the winners of the Trick (Trophy) Truck class (Justin Lofton) and that Robby Gordon
came in second, and Unlimited 1500 (Score Class 1) class were posted. Sam Berri in #1549 is that class winner. Videos: https://www.facebook.com/themint400
The tracking map shows the racer is back at the main pit, so it looks like they finished... When we hear more, I will add.
