SCORE JOURNAL 48 38TH SCORE SAN FELIPE 250 TROPHY TRUCK CLASSES While everyone was on the edge of their seats watching Ampudia and McMillin fight for the finish, the G.O.A.T. Rob MacCachren in his No. 11 Fastball Racing truck snuck into third place after starting eighth. "It was a super-fast pace from the start," said MacCachren. "Everyone that qualifies in the top ten up there hauls the mail. We ran strong and we wanted a good finish. We struggled with the truck a little last year so we did some testing in the off-season. We are making improvements, and things are getting better. We are pushing as hard as we can. I want to thank Bobby Patton, Fastball Racing, and BFGoodrich Tires." Price and Wheel On Fire MacCachren wasn't the only team to sneak up from the rear of the pack. Way back at 26th place was the No. 46 AWD truck driven by Toby Price and Paul Weel. The two started back in the pack from problems in Qualifying but had as perfect of a race as anyone could hope for and rose to within a minute and 12 seconds from the leader. If this had been another race, like the SCORE Baja 400 or Baja 500, they could have made it on the podium or added another win to their record. Instead, the team was very pleased with their efforts and finished in fourth place. "We started 26th and Finished 4th," said an exuberant Price at the finish. "We gave it some big ones today. I was on a mission to keep us near the front, and we were only one minute 12 seconds from the win and a solid 13 seconds off a podium finish. Epic work by all the team."
