Looked like a blast out there, a lot of moto guys were there to support him. James definitely had the attention in the pits this evening and racing continues again tomorrow in Joliet, IL @ Route 66 Raceway.

from his twit:

1st time ever driving the truck. was completely diff then the other 1 I drove once so i was lost bc I didn't even kno how it would drive

Qualified 11th outta 19 or 20 trucks, but in the race I was moving up and spun out and hit a tire and completely jacked my steering up but..

U know me I kept driving but I would have 2 turn the wheel 1/2 way 2 drive in a straight line so I wld forget & land & shoot left or right

spun out again & caught a rear flat & had 2 pull in & change the tire. Went back out & my truck was cutting in & out. Jetting problems I thk

Ended up maybe 11th? Not sure but I had a great time an looking for a better finish tmrw. Thx 2 the crew 4 all the help & having a solid...

Truck for me. Wasn't a bad driver( I think lol) just was insure abt everything. The unknown of what the truck was gna is what hurt me 2nite

But I had a blast & I'm very tired but wanted 2 give U guys an update 1st. Oh.. Did I mention that I flip the truck the 1st lap of practice

He could have easily won that race if he had his blue flashing lights.

It was fun to watch and he passed a few guys early before the problems.
Like Mike said, a bunch of local moto guys were there including Tim from Red Bud, PR master Pat Schutte, some Feld guys, Roger from Answer and Donn from Transworld documenting the whole thing.
RC flys in today because he races NACAR trucks tomorrow so I'm sure he'll be at the TORC races tonight along with a ton of other stars/drivers/racers.

So jealous he gets to drive one of those trucks! If I ever am a billion-aire, I will own a truck racing team for sure.

So much fun last night! The racing was gnarly, definitely kept me entertained. Great to see the moto crew supporting James. If you're in the area, check it out tonight, you won't regret it. Then go back tomorrow and watch Ricky in the truck race. Good luck JS7 and RC4.

He is obviously staying with Yamaha or else the truck would have been painted yellow. Tongue

He didn't wreck the truck in this pic, just took inside line, parts were flying off everyone's trucks so no idea who's body piece is in front of that white/red truck. For only having a hour or 2 in a truck EVER I think he did pretty good! I'd prolly wreck the damn thing too, I'm stoked I went - good times!

I guess RJ is in the premier class. The last two rounds are at the Cycle Ranch Oct. 15,16. Hopefully #7 will be racing in Vegas that night at the Monster Cup.

He is actually doing pretty good. Watching it now.

Did you guys notice they added an S to his number 7 since there was already a #7 out there? Wonder what thats all about.
