Lucas Oil's Rick D Johnson takes home 2nd at BITD V2R
The THR, General Tire, Lucas Oil, Trick Truck #71 team of Driver Rick D Johnson and co-driver Brian Sallee had a flawless race. They wisely paced themselves in the dust driving fast enough to stay up front without damaging the truck or losing time to flat tires. “We had a great race,” said Rick, “We never got out of the truck. We did two fuel stops and changed the rears once in the pits. We knew if we kept pushing hard without any mistakes, we would have a good finish. We went through three different rainstorms in the mountains. The rain cooled us down and made the air smell great. We were having such a trouble free run we actually enjoyed it. Our plan was to have enough truck in the end to go for the win but we were held up in traffic near the finish. We’re pleased with the second place finish in the Trick Truck class, 5th overall and look forward to the Bluewater Desert Challenge.”
