A Truck race?
Great! So we will have the likes of MAN, Daff and Mercedes then?
Erm... ah, yes, the greatness of english false friends. It's... a diferent kind of truck a bit less... european.
And smaller too, more like this:
But... that looks like a regular nascar car with the back end sawed off!
(some sources in Ukraine claim this was what Putin sent to Bernie when applying to the race in Sochi)
Well... yes. But it's a Kyle Bush ca... I mean, truck. So all sorts of mechanical violence is allowed.
(rejoice! he is not in the race!)
Anyway, there is a Nascar race at Texas, yes there is an Indycar race there too with a bloke turned F1 Track expert named Bourdais, but that's in another thread that I have hijacked for advertising purposes.

It's got Randolph Scott, you really should check it out.
Ok, so the race is in Texas, why on earth I I have to watch a race on a Friday evening, on a race track with one single grandstand and in freaking Texas?
Freaking Texas? How dare you badmouth the home of the Superior God Norris?
(yes, it's really him, I checked)
Hold on right there! Your thread is already bigger than the race itself! Why are you doing this?
(remember guys, always buy official licenced products, avoid counterfeits)
Well... it's a truck race and we shoudl always feel simpathy for these banished to Indycar races. Besides, it's got Matt Crafton and Timothy Petters and a bunch of young mindless kids, seriously! It's like watching GP2 but with some blokes of F1 also driving.
(except at the end they are punching each other)
There are also optional mini games to be played, "How many laps behind will Cobb end?" and "Who will be last truck to be wrecked by JWT?", you can make up others on your own as you go.
(it's probably still faster than a Macca)
It airs on FOX, which means 40% of race space, which is actually a good thing because you would go crazy after 10 laps listening to FOX, think of it as a gracious gesture.
(isn't this a really lovable punchable face?)
As for who's in the race there is a PDF I found elsewhere:

Race starts in about an hour from this post if my mafia sources are correct.
