The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series went short track racing on Friday night, and Dale Tanhardt and Joshua Lipowski are both here to give you all you need to know for both that race and the upcoming race at Texas.

• Layne Riggs had a tough night thanks to circumstances out of his control. Lipowski and Tanhardt discuss what went wrong, and why Riggs has dealt with such a poor start this season.
• Christian Eckes dominated to take home the win. With two wins this season, is he a Championship favorite? Does he have an easy path forward to the Cup Series? Tanhard and Lipowski debate those two questions, and Josh proposes where Eckes should look if he wants to make the jump up to the Cup Series.
• Ty Majeski was also a hot topic as a 2nd place finisher. Tanhardt and Lipowski analyze Majeski’s trend of coming close but not coming away with victories. However, do the tracks coming up shape up well for Majeski?
• As crazy as it sounds, the Playoffs are only 10 races away. Tanhardt and Lipowski discuss the drivers on the current bubble, and one particular driver they feel needs to show something to keep their current seat, Chase Purdy.
• The duo finishes off by giving their Texas picks. Which drivers are favorites, which are dark horses, and which will struggle?
