2017 Watkins Glen - Stadium SUPER Trucks - CBS Sports Network

welcome to CBS Sports network's coverage of ufd at the glands feet Energy stadium chipper trucks racing routes 19 and 20 here at this legendary circuit Watkins Glen International and with this being the first appearance of stadium super trucks in the Northeast race fans are about to experience the high-flying action of SST up-close for the very first time hello everyone I'm Sean Germany in the long side of me is former short track in IndyCar star Davey Hamilton Davie great race it expected here this weekend at Watkins Glen International you know it's so exciting to have these trucks it's such a great racetrack and super fast racetrack we're right along here with Robby Gordon going down into turn one and as even notice a lot of rain this weekend here so first time for these trucks at this track and it's wet and here's the turn one the first Jeff merabh he comes through you can see him catching almost 300 foot he's getting them distance in there now he's coming up through the famed SS here at Watkins Glen International Raceway usually flat out in most cars but with this rain you see Rob he's so gentle on that steering wheel trying to get up through this area this is one of the first courses with stanchion trucks where there's a lot of off cambers bolt directions here and there how is that going to be throughout these seven turns being 2.4 miles of track is that gonna play a role in how they run the truck well I think one thing they're gonna find this drafting there get so much speedier these trucks like a brick really they're not made for aerodynamics so it's like a brick going through there so these trucks behind are gonna have a huge advantage getting free air here's the second jump right outside of the inner loop here at walk in a while we see Robbie gets really sideways they're off at the grass a little bit now this is turn five very tough turn it's so fast through here but I mean it's hard to get grip and this row gonna see a lot of setting up to get passes coming off the turn five going down turn six no jumps on this straightaway so this is gonna be a drafting area we've seen stadium supercharged in some wet conditions in the past as it's been kind of throughout the weekend so far up to this point here not wet conditions and of course this fast with with poor jumps out here especially jumps back to back to back is that going to make a big difference you're thinking the way these guys before I think so you know and I had some experience in the rain down in Florida on a short track and those ramps being metal so slick to appear on their gas con all those ramp it could turn the sideways so this is gonna be really exciting to watch and that is coming out of the last and final turn here's to turn seven here at Watkins Glen International and that is a lap with Robby Gordon in the same craft safety equipment truck and here's a look at our International points after around 18 and Beijing China Jeff you weeks ago Matthew Brava and Paul Morris they're having a great battle it's a championship and we were scheduled to run this race earlier today but this happened as Bill Hynes got into the sand barriers here here's another look at it right up the middle should I go right should I go left could make the decision there here's a great onboard you see them downshift Oh runs out of room there you see Bill Dom's just one more time goes at the ramp here's another look at it from behind so a wild right there with the cleanup and things we were scheduled to run earlier they was sunny putt going out here and on the side of safety as SST in Watkins Glen International always does we've opted to clean it up properly and move the race back later on into the day so here's our starting grid for round 19 here at UofT half the Glen up on the pole that is Sean Richardson Eric Davis Phil Hines on down bobba coffin you're faster drivers in the back that is Robby Gordon Morris and Steve Kendall that is Steve Kendall's first stadium super truck race he has decided to start all the way in the back is where on former Steve Kendall and the two one three right there speed energy truck there is Maddy Brabham our current points leader look at he's a little nervous look excited ready to rock and roll and there's iron head Sean Richardson is about ready to take the green flag and we're off and running this the wet conditions are going to play a big part down into turn one let's just see if they make it through there first well you know you've spent time on this track and we talked earlier we've got some off cambers we got some different things here that we haven't seen then you add the weather to it these do tutorial tires work well in all conditions but you got to drive accordingly I'm expected to see these guys all over weather great first lap for these guys our first corner I should say get me through that in wet conditions their first time as well being on the web but now coming up to these senses as we talked about this is such a fast area and we see like a look at Robby Gordon making some moves there in the back tried to get his way to the front right now see Robby Gordy seen him he's already moved up a little bit Robby Gordon deceive Pam chief equipment truck as you said start in the back these guys are the faster guys in the back it is Gordon it is Morris it is Bob mock all the guys that qualified well in the back they are making their way up right now but how about vision and something like this there are no windshields on this some of them have tear offs but then you get a little water over Maddy Brabham in the developments truck he gets off into the grass a little bit there he's able to hang on to it he gets back in front of looks like Jeff Hoffman right there able to hang on to that spot so they got kind of a a learning curve real quick here on lap one how fast I go how much can i push it if the rain has stopped but is it gonna dry up but is that gonna make a difference for baby and they're gonna try to find the dry spots if it does dry up and and we see actually a tear off look at the right side right there the deal you see a tear off that they've pulled because your your vision just look at the lens at the camera that's what they have to deal with so it's hard to see for sure but how about Maddy Brabham he probably has the most experience on the rain from all of his background right now finds himself into third right behind Eric Davis putting the pressure on him coming off his first lap and that's what you expect right now out of a guy like grab him and you see out front so Sean Richards saying they call him iron hand he's out of okay live in half the time in the states half the time in Australia he's running really well here is Eric Davis on board great shot of the developers driver number 83 of Maddie problem talk about using the draft right there gets mom halfway around them down the straightaway pulls to the inside there and you had mentioned earlier debut the draft it's like pushing a brick is a punching a big hole in the air here and it's making a difference it's working and we watched look at the Eric when he goes to that corner he got on the brakes a little too much the front end slid out he has to get back on track and make sure he hits his first hit look he misses it which is okay as long as you don't gain any position but as you can see he's falling back just a few I'm glad you mentioned that Danny if you err on the side of safety in stadium super trucks you can miss him jump instead of hitting with two wheels and crash and we're taking another driver our what have you you cannot gain ground and you most certainly cannot gain a position but right now Maddie problem he's using his experience and using the draft here as he just smokes by Shawn Richardson bad news Oh Robby Gordon number seven safe to have safety for the truck he's been on this track he's done some laps before he's won races here in NASCAR he knows what it takes he sees Maddie for album do and he's like I would be part of that show too and look at his line just a little bit different than Maddie just trying to find that spot at the sweet spot in this rain right now the two most experienced guys right now the two guys first and second now they you remember they started towards the back they've already found their way in the front the short amount of time but it's a long ways to go these competition yellows is going to tighten things up but you've watched what Robbie he get to the corner of the low line where Maddie's trying to take that high line but now who has the advantage the leader or the guy in second catching that draught absolutely you see him there Robby Gordon going why they're trying to find traction perhaps or what-have-you but he knows Rob he's gonna be smart about it he's not gonna move grab him out of the way you know he knows that there's other fast drivers gonna catch up as well but he's gonna keep in mind that there are to the mandatory competition cars it's coming up with one being right around the corner here so 9 laughs what the race is scheduled for but keep in mind there'll be two different times where they're going to have a comp caution then Bunch the pack back up together again and our smarter drivers they need to they know that hey we just need to push it so that we get to that last comp caution we take the final green flag we need to have a truck that's together a truck that's working I have good vision and move up to the front Oh Sean Richardson Ironhead in the number 12 live United fibre and data truck he goes wide once he hit that paint really took off here we are on board Richardson running in a little bit hot gets on the hand brake a little too late he's just along for the ride yeah you know what that hand brakes so important in these trucks too my first time in one as well I grab that hand brake and gave it a big jerk next thing I know I'm spinning around you had to be so gentle on those hand brakes and Richardson stretching the wet probably good in the dry but in the wet was just a little bit too much now here's our first competition yellow right now we are three laps up nine this is one out of two competition cautions keep an eye on top thoughts become an autumn turn five will be picking it back up at the start/finish line we'll be right back in just a little bit with more action from Watkins Glen International Stadium super trucks on CBS Sports Network he's sponsored by Toyota toy oh oh nothing in by United fibre and data ingenuity in infrastructure welcome back to you FD at the glance am super trucks racing earlier day we had an opportunity to pick up with Bill Hines let's see what he has to say I'm bill Hines I'm the driver of the number 57 United fiber and data stadium super truck I'm also the CEO and founder of the united fiber and davis I will double duty on most weekends when we started the company and we wanted to just do something totally unique to get the word out there just say you know you put on you know like these other telecom companies these boring stuffy commercials well stadium super trucks United fiber and data we definitely dance to the beat of a different drum stadium super trucks is totally different it all forms of motorsport its clothes combining stock car racing with motocross racing and look at this truck behind me how pretty it is it's flying through the air like Superman sometimes even when it goes bad it goes pretty good I like to say Statham super trucks is uncontrolled chaos so we have three trucks and the third truck is you know we got to put the best person in it depending on what country were in but the second truck is a full-time driver Paul Morris he's a v8 supercar fame you know he's the only driver to win the Bathurst six-hour to Bathurst 12-hour to Bathurst 1000 you know it's been any likes he just just drive the wheels off anything I go down to the Gold Coast and he has a track down there with the door well Motorplex and fixing out a skid peg takes me on the track and he really has stepped up my game but he also kudos to robbie bourdon i go to his track in north carolina and he works with me a lot and you know i'm really getting close to these guys that's been driving for 20-30 years so it's been very exciting alright so that's a word for Bill Hyde's big supporter of stadium super trucks racing as we're on board with him right now about ready to take the green flag we are one competition caution down three of nine laps are in the record books as we get ready to take the green flag here momentarily it is off out in front two of the fastest drivers in stay in super trucks history it has grabbed them with Gordon Gordon dives to the inside is he able to make it stick blows it all on his own he goes wide gets off into the paint over to the fans gets an opportunity to wave to his fans the hair and the Robby Gordon he's off and running behind him we got Gavin Harlan he's in the royal purple truck behind him it is Paul of the dude Morris in the United vibrating data live truck so three fast drivers the young driver right in the center there in second place that is Gavin Harlan he's had six podiums in a row this year so he's a threat to these guys as were on board right now with Maddy perhaps he goes wide he's like mom man I having so much trouble even my dad's here to watch this weekend and that's what I do but I don't think it's over for Maddy problem we still got another comp caution coming up well that's how you go from first to last in one corner and it's so easy to do in this ring well guy with the most experience probably in the rain but we had Robby Gordon pressure and he just got in and the truck just went the wrong direction right if it slid the other way the way of the corner which is right hand he probably been okay but just but watch out from rap because he's gonna be on midgets coming front so right now we are Robbie Bourdon Paul Morrison on board with the royal purple superstar Gavin Harlan Harlan running really well up front Lee we mentioned earlier six podiums in a row he's had so far this year he's looking to have another one again as he's racing with the best of the best out in front on board with a safe pass see if equipment number seven Robby Gordon good look back at Morris he gets a little bit squirrely looks like one driver went wide another one Sean rich singles ride as well a lot of guys kind of blow and turn one right there you're carrying so much speed I think they're just getting brave you know I mean it's like hey we went look just go a little deeper try to go a little deeper to get off more speed and they're just trying to find that edge in this rain and we see Paul Morris right now chasing down Robby Gordon still has a chance of this championship so he's putting the pressure on we seat Robbie's truck much more you know it's much straighter yeah then palsy and that's key right now watch him come through this through the inner loop right here you kind of get a better look at it I think that's probably got a lot to do with with Rob Ford having some track time on this track and and also a little more experience in the rain as well there's got to be pushing 60 years of experience a racing experience between Gordon and Morris right there you see Gordon get sideways off the jump almost gets off in the toolies a little bit almost mowing the lawn event there but right now Morris you know he's in p2 he can I wouldn't say relax he wants to win this race you know the dude wants to win every time he gets into a race car but who's got to push it that's Madi perhaps he's one's got to push it right now because he's chasing down a championship as Ron bored with Shawn Richardson right here Richardson he holds it together Brabham goes wide right there Bravo might be going out through so Robby Gordon do that early in the race there might be some traction out there there might be some concrete Oh No maybe some some coarse material we can hook up on there is Erin bomb back in the Toyo tires truck he gets to the inside of Shawn Richardson she said a little bit squirrely and look at this right now there is bomba the in car cab look at all the water everything coming down off the roof that's what it's like if you're not one of the leaders all this bruised all this rain coming out from all the race cars in front of you look how wet inside that race car is you go to the end car it's a Robby Gordon and palm part and it's not that when it's a little drier but they are off in the toolies again up over the paint pretty much everybody in the Pakistan at least once this race once and we see Paul miss it the wrapper game but that's okay he didn't gain any positions now where you want to be is where you kind of see the track get dull it's getting dry right there that's where they're gonna have the most traction but you know you have to play around in this range just to try to get the advantage now we see Hoffman right here putting a lot of pressure on that royal purple truck now here is where the draft he comes into play and we see Maddy Bradman people coming to look at Brabham as you mentioned the draft comes into play Maddy problem he's been in a lot of race cars her draft isn't poor in any show of the young men just how important is this he's covered almost 20 miles an hour more coming up into the bus stop here can he make the pass clean Oh big contact right there Brabham decides to go through the grass instead of spinning out Gavin Harlan just collects himself almost two wheels off that jump Hoffman's like hey you guys want a faster spin out I'm going to take advantage of is we go into our competition caution our second and final comp caution so wild racing so far is we got a replay right here and we can see Harlan has his right front tire locked up right there he's on the brakes trying to get that truck to turn gets into parameters that a little bit Brabham has no choice but to go to the grass good thing is these trucks go through grass probably better than they do that so no big deal but both what a great job driving by Brabham and Harlan Hoffman's mission they take each other out so he gains a couple spots but these guys gathered it up as we can see Brabham coming back on the track to get ready to hit this next job and here's another real era here on board Gavin big contact right there one goes to the inside one goes to the outside Harlan almost going off that with just two wheels the speed of two wheels they're showing himself Robbie Gordon we are six of nine laps and as we come back for more action from Watkins Glen and welcome back to CBS Sports network's coverage of you FD up the glad here rocket sled international as we take our last and final green flag from race number one Robby Gordon out from Paul the dude Morris and p2 it looks like already up in p3 may just be Madi Brabham's going all the way from first to last and back up to the top of the pack so wild race it with only a handful laps left to go and you can see him getting on that outside I knew gets enough a little bit of a battle there that royal purple truck or harder but they get straightened out oh they jump out that gravel I mean coming from getting the lead going to last coming all the way back to third not that easy to do it and I can say the guy in the championship herd now first and second third our battle for second place and a battle for the championship world championship points right there so that is Madi Brabham in the number 83 orange develop his truck is there's a great shot of him right there with his main competitor 67 the LIVE UNITED father-and-daughter driver of paul the dude Morris both Australians both from the Gold Coast both racing for an international championship in both swap and paint right here at Watkins Glen International and back to that royal purple truck said you know what I'm going to get it on this to gets back by prep and puts private back into that fourth position but how about this he's coming back around the outside saying dude I'm giving you another challenge here on that side drives right by him and turn five he's going out looking for hole tracks but look at the push we're gonna push in right there and problems truck you saw him he had was forced to go wide right there he was turning but he wasn't looking up cuz it's so wet out there as look at that big roofs coming off a Morris's truck right into the cab of Gavin Harlan Jeff Hoffman a true filled 50 to one he's still too mixed as well so great race and just over two laps left to go and race number one from ufd at the Glen now how about this Robby Gordon he loves this he says oh you keep fighting Richardson Shannon Hoffman hard to say exactly what happened there I know it happened awfully quick and it looked very violent lambing off the second jump right there the United fiber and data jump you ft.com ramp so we're gonna go back and see we can take another look of exactly what happened to that one meanwhile front they're nice amel everyone's good Hoffman gets sideways Oh Richardson didn't really have anywhere to go and seem like I don't know if it's that's not anyone's fault so far maybe we get it we can't get another key around bored with Hoffman he's sideways up Richardson he was jumping straight I think so far I'm gonna call that racing I don't think anyone did anyone dare do now in Richardson where am I gonna go Hoffman he got sideways to 51 true fuel truck United father and daughter of iron had Shawn Richardson he had nowhere to go so I'm gonna call that a racing yeah without a doubt he just flew he pull off the drop a little bit farther he landed and they contact soon as soon as they landed so uh no harm no foul so to speak they turn round and kept going said Oh fall is we're all so dry up here in the common tree food as well so everything's good for us as we are saying two laps left to go a lap and change a little bit more right now we are Gordon gravel Paul the dude Morris in Harlan bomb Bach right behind him as well so great race and so far just Bravo have what he needs to stay in front of Morris I think he he does he should be able to but does it have what it takes to pass Robby Gordon that's a whole nother ballgame as we're about ready to take the white flag one last and final lap to go around this International Speedway and look at Robbie trying that low line to keep Brabham out of the draft tell him Pratt if you're gonna pass me it's gonna be on the outside and Robbie's staying down low now is it advantage being the lead or second because it's such a big drafting area coming up through these s's and down that straightaway into the inner loop we're soon to find out three of the top three guys are known to tell well that is a fine question right now is Braudel he goes the outside he wasn't afraid to get into the wet stuff a little bit right there is that the right move as you had mentioned they got this really fast section up the hill now Brabham he's back in the lead he went from first to last and back to first again Robbie going to the inside Seafarer saved equipment able to make the move can he keep it right there as we get in that tight bus stop Wow here comes Paul the dude Morris he's 20 miles an hour faster than any wealth hashtag dude mower if he gets into the grass makes a pass for the lead can he hang on to it he does grab him he jumps in the second place Gordon he's back into the lead again that's four lead changes within three turn that was amazing Rob he split that split the gap went from third back to first Paul Morris now in second there it will come to the checkered flag right now what else could happen we are only two turns and two jumps away from deciding who's gonna be the winner of race number one it has been questionable we had guys missing Josh we have guys off into the tour Lee's all over the place of tracks drying up just a little bit the who's who of stadium super trucks is one two and three right now it is KMC wheels in ufd to the finish I know the rear end is broken Brabham struck the rear end is broke in the number 83 truck final turn as they head to the checkered flags it looks like it's going to be the number 7 of Robby Gordon Steve craft safety equipment Paul the dude Morris and grab him rounding out your top three what a wild ride was awesome that was a great thing about that little celebration by Robby well deserved right there what a great race and what it was what a great race with all the competitors holding together in this weather things in the rain and so wild stuff and here's our results reached number one so that is Robby Gordon and Morris and Brabham that is your top three so great job from all them always some great words from Robby Gordon let's go down and talk to our winner right now see what he has to say the track conditions made it a bit difficult so Robbie should run an offline where there's no rubber you know when I went down on the past with Brabham both of us blew turn one it's like I didn't even think I went in that far and I saw him take off too so you know the reasons good the trucks put up a good tow so you can get a big draft like you saw with Paul Morris and like I said on the back straight or on the last lap I had no idea he was even that close to us I was so focused on Brabham we'll have another one tomorrow hopefully the rain stays away but at least everybody's got an idea of what stadium super truck is and what kind of races they put on it yes they do here in the Northeast for the first time so here's our points after around 19 Brabham Morris Robby Gordon no surprises there let's go down and talk to Paul Morris they were side by side coming up through the Aces and then I'd hung back my boys are good all dirty so I had a rag I mean I took it with it and cleaned it off for the last lap and then then caught and I forgotten probably 20 mile an hour so I was there's only one place to go and that was for the grass it was changing every lap this bit like running the dirt track I was drying up and then the alternative line was working the next lap it wouldn't so he just had to search around and Robbie as the guy found the grip on the last couple of corners that got in the wind for sure all right well stay tuned round twenty race number two from ufg at the Glen coming up right around the corner and we are back to United fibre and data at the Glen stadium super trucks racing here this is speed Energy's SST getting ready to go into round number 20 race number two of the weekend here's your starting grid up front it is the rookie Steve Kendall he's sitting on the fall all the way back down to our winners from race number one with Robby Gordon all way back in the 10th position so exciting stuff the Batchelor guys career moving on up through the front again as we are on board with Paul Morris right there sitting on the starting grid Erin Baumbach he's looking back and grab him right there a lot of pressure on him and Erik Davis sitting in p3 right now so we're about to go green flag racing as they drop the rag and off we go this is round number 20 race number 2 here at Watkins Glen International another day in the rain we think we're gonna get it dried no rain pours down again in wet conditions now the great thing they all had experience from yesterday we'll see how it turned one works out today all we see Robbie core of all people overshoot turn one find himself still in that 10th position Gordon he goes wide Brabham and dude they get together we weren't even through turn one of lap one we already saw some some contact there from those two competitors and as Steve Kendall and the speed energy Menards Toyo tires truck he is running up in front right now this is his first time this first weekend in stadium super trucks racing so starting all the way in the rear yesterday feel a little more confident now say all right I'll start out front with the boys and and running quite well I might add for someone that had yet to be on a race track in a stadium super truck finds himself in that second position on the outside of Erik Davis who's been doing this a long time as well now they're all packing up down through this inner loop right here we'll see how they come out after this first round is almost like he didn't like him that was I'm gonna call how I see him and it looked like he stepped right on the loud pedal possibly maybe is his feet were wet or something but uh man you don't want to start a fight with Erik Davis yeah look at you know what I think you just split out and hit that per beat on the inside this split out that little bit hit Davis and when it's wet like this it doesn't take much to turn you around if it was dry probably wouldn't affected too much but yeah definitely Erik is the wrong place at the wrong time yeah absolutely right there so hopefully all is good in the paddock after this race is over because I don't think Gavin Harlan wants to be scuffling with Erik gave us as you see right now there's true fuel number 52 one of the Hopf Jeff Hoffman he is side by side with Gavin Harlan as well Paul Morris he tries to stick it to the inside a little bit of contact with three trucks that is the hoff Harlan and the dude all getting a little bit of contact there and turn number one Toyo tires sent some flying down the hill is out in front Steve Kendall still looking comfortable he is a mini cycle Southern California superstar from back in the day now racing a few different things in the desert here in the air leading stadiums super trucks racing as he gets a look of the develops number 83 of Madi Brabham goes right on by he was in the bit of the draft right there so good stuff as they come up the hill right now Kendall looking comfortable on board with Brabham problems looking back at the hafiz looking at the dude looking at some fast drivers there Steve Kendall in the 213 he gets a little squirrely once again I'm gonna say dude lower back out in the grass again running in there real hot Oh Hoffman Harlan oh I'm sorry Harlan Harlan the 55 royal purple truck you know what happened there he just came off the jump condom cocked the wrong direction when he land he had no choice but to spin the other direction but more has been he has been fine to the law happy he didn't gain any positions I don't think doing that the right behind him right now is is on board right now I think that's Robbie Gorp yeah it is but look at him pushing him down in into turn six right now trying to get around more so you got to remember that the the guys they're battling for the championship is that number seven truck the number 67 horse but guess what Brabham the leader the points finds himself in clean already after - yeah that's not good news for anybody out there you know we saw earlier this weekend in race one Brattle Mountain Front and he caught himself making a mistake and turn one because there's a wet track well make a mistake one time shame on you you're making a mistake second time well you're just being foolish and Maddie Brown was not a foolish kid and so he's gonna hang on through here I don't think you're gonna see him blowing any turns and turn one here today's out in the lead well what he wants to see in that rearview mirror is everybody battling behind him because the more they battle more he could actually relax a little bit but you know what I think great about this track and the speed that the trucks go it keeps ever everybody's just fighting they're right on top of each other and you gotta remember nothing they're probably eight ten seconds off the pace because it's wet so you see how fast they're going right now and how far they're flying when it's dry these diseases are amazing as well but this is really keeping the feel tight look at four guys battling right now coming down that back straightaway look at them using the draft again that is Morris and Gordon go ahead and going to the inside coming into the bus-stop they need to get into turn five that's where the comp caution is going to come out so he wants to be in front of them when they hit that section so right now that is Brabham Hoffman Gordon and the dude and bomb Bock so that brings us into our comp caution right now of number one so there will be two mandatory competition cautions in this race we're at lab three of nine so wild stuff happening in the wet tracks here the weather is not going to get any better but the race and Wales we come back in just a few moments and ready to restart race number two here at UMD at the Glen that is united fatherland data at the glanders to get ready to grab the green flag and we get ready to go racing one more time here at Watkins Glen that is the first of two mandatory competition cautions are now in the record books we got a handful laps to go let's look at five wide going into turn number one Robby Gordon where are you going the number seven seat crash safety from the truck he goes way wide right there that gives our leaders of a bit of a break little more breathing room saying Robbie just dropped all the way back I think maybe gonna a place yeah how about that what happened he just went to go wide there to see if he could get an advantage outside of those guys but you can water was cuddled up a little bit there just not enough traction that's how close it is and making it and not making that corner and you're right he falls all the way back I think he's you went to eight he finds himself back in seventh right now so that was a big mistake for him you know but hey let's not forget the other and he's already making making up ground right now is he's using the trap let's not forget that we saw Maddie Bravo and around 19 go from first to last blowing it in the save turn and coming back and finishing up battling for the win so let's not count out safe craft safe equipment number seven of robby gordon right now because i think we're gonna see him battle and at least in the top five by the time they need to get down to the checker if i get a fair medal without a doubt and what great pick for these guys when Robbie falls back like that right now we're on board with Erik Davis right now great shot and said that always involving truck is he watches Robbie right now he watched what Robbie doing worse he faster right you try to learn from that who in the back because that guy he's the best and and so when he falls back like that these guys and even works great sore our off speed a little bit you can learn a lot from get out your notepad and pen when you see that these guys drop back like that start taking some notes to see how in front right now it is still Brabham Hoffman true Phil number 52 won the hop he's no joke he's not been on the gases this summer as well all throughout the season starting all the way back with his first podium and Adelaide Australia back in March so we expect to see some more podiums out of him as he's battling for the lead right now p3 it is Paul the dude Morris Gavin Harlan he stays to the outside of Erin bomb Bach in the Toyo tires truck bomb almost maybe the sneak to the inside so the who's who of sting of super trucks racing is out in front right now except for Robby Gordon coming right now I think Bob box is gonna get lined up he's in that draft right it already gets by next guy in line harder than that royal purple truck he's coming Robbie's coming and finds himself in Portland they say using that trap there's only a handful of drivers in the field that really have had a lot of time to experience racing when the draft is important and knowing how to do it properly and then you have the rein to it I would think you see oh no surprise in the law and again but it seems to work for them gets a little contact there with Hoffman and the dude do it into the lawn one more time we've seen the majority of the drivers have taste a little bit of grass in that section look at them real easy like he's driving on eggshells Robby Gordon around the outside of Gavin Harley Gavin Harlan's not someone who can just drive by then that's that's not an easy thing to do not an easy thing to do at all and same thing the heart is gonna get behind Rodney and say okay I'm gonna watch what he's a little bit I'll get back up in there and one great thing these trucks are all identical yeah so everybody that drives he's know they had the truck the same as another guy it's just your driving style another thing with these with these trucks are is they're so durable right I mean look how far they fly now and Robbie's done such a great job on designing these finding this little niche to be on these kind of tracks like this with off-road Bullet Looks look earlier today the weekend with bill Hinds getting into the water barriers into the concrete k-rails he didn't even break a break line nothing that truck landed was fine he's racing just the way it was they are tough they're durable the secret to going fast and save super trucks you got to be a wheelman you gotta gotta be smart and these things are so fun you know I've been fortunate to be able to drive it two or three times and one thing about it is it takes time just like the kind of race car you can't just get in these things that go to the front cuz these guys aren't that good but you have fun no matter what and the guys that won you know it's it's Robbie the guys that have a lot of its prints the guys up front you know seat time is so important absolutely as we are on board right now with Paul the dude Morris he is racing towards our next comp caution but how in front he is kind of grabbed at other gears this afternoon that is Brabham Madi Brad the development struck the number 83 so these guys are racing to turn number five they got to get to this ran Gordon he's sideways putting some pressure on Morris calm cautions out for that pack of drivers as well so that is our two comp cautions over and done with we are six of nine laps in so the who's who are already back up front right now running towards the checkered flag so a big action-packed finish is coming up right around a quarter here at Watkins Glen and welcome back to a somewhat rainy cloudy yet amazing Watkins Glen International Speedway as we get ready to go green flag racing for the last and final time this weekend with United fibre and data at the Glenn speed energy Stadium super trucks are off and running and how about this Paul Morris going to the inside Robby Gordon going to the outside trying to sandwich Maddy Brad look at Paul gets that lead how about that Heartland spins on his own but meanwhile first the third was Brabham right now getting back into that second spot but Paul the dude Morris finds sleek going up the hill Robby Gorgona to take that outside I'm gonna try to get by both of them we're talking earlier about the draft and only a few guys in the pack really understand how to use the draft well the three guys that do her out from about the guy in the safety crab truck game even won a NASCAR an IndyCar he's been all over and he knows drafting right now but the third guy line Matty crab has the most advantage at the draft but where he's gonna go there's a truck in front of him on both sides you can try that inside of Robby Gordon we'll see how it comes out look at Jeff Hoffman just perched and ready in that true fuel fifty to one truck he's watching these top three drivers out here he's like he's like yeah I'm learning something yeah I'm up to the pace to do what I need to do here but I just need one of you guys to make a mistake I'm gonna capitalize on all three and Maddie Brabham goes from first to third back to first by turn five right here Paul Morris comes off that second jump just a little bit too hard slides up Madi finds his way right to the bottom we can see Maddie and Gordon going super wide but Paul Morris trying that inside line and you still see all the water so you got to remember Maddie Brad who's got a clear shield the guys behind him all have water on their shield and it's not that easy to see absolutely that's also part of the traps as well if you get up close up to one another some of that water is gonna go underneath you and not over you but it's pulled right up and we'll see a lot of these guys are taking different lines we saw early under race they're looking for traction the tracks somewhat drawing up in some places and sometimes not and others right now Matt Brabham he's far enough out where these guys like when we can't draft off him so he's where he needs to be he's running his own race right now and so Morris and Gordon are like we need him to screw up nor to catch them he found another gear that we don't have and that's gonna make a big difference as this race goes on there are no more competition conscience speaking of caution look out Eric Davis as he does real wide and always evolving truck right now first big mistake we've seen of Eric Davis but only a couple laps left to go so that's bad news for him yeah you know probably just tried a different line right there got it too hot doesn't we seemed a lot of guys do but meanwhile Robby Gordon comes off that first job pretty sideways right now going to try to draft Paul the dude Morris going down into the inner loop right now gets inside of him for that second position we'll see if you could hold it or if the dudes gonna take the grass again and he very well may I'm surprised that we we haven't seen the dude and Robby Gordon use each other to gain that 20 miles an hour and push each other off to catch problem but the draft worked obviously a little bit because they got they closed up the gap a fair amount but the dude got left behind a little bit here so yeah that's hard work I mean if anyone's got a pretty big bag of trip tricks I should say Paul the dude Morris he's going to reach down in there and find that do what he needs to do to catch up to Robby Gordon yeah and we thought the robbing her that the Maddy Brava was going high but did you see how far a Robby way yeah all the way out that wall and that runoff area he's now put the pressure on Maddie Brabham and let me tell you when you got when you got Robby behind you it doesn't matter it's all for fun but the pressures on and you know our boy Slater wants to win this race right now that's Maddie there's a lot of a lot of money a lot of high-fives a lot of talking back and forth to each other in the paddock about winning the championship here so it's important to these guys and the white flag is out we are going into our last and laughs here as we mentioned there's a championship on the line Maddie problem he's in the lead right now in the race and in the championship Robby Gordon he's trying to upset the championship right now it's steeled away from both gravel and the dude so a lot of money a lot of bragging Lloyd's on the rock yeah no doubt you see Robbie right behind Maddie going into turn one but we can see Robbie struck a little bit sideways right there that is not the way of speed you want to keep it as straight as possible Maddie he's trying to do that but meanwhile you see Robbie just out there trying to find that speed he's gonna draft him down this straightaway going to Nate or Luke Wow probably is where he wants to be right now because it's looking far for him to draft and passing it in there that's just it I mean we are literally 40 feet off of a big draft coming to play and wrap any past going into that turn right there so we had just what you guys go through the key in you ain't winnin I say all three of them go through the grass for no reason other than the fact of around the last lap of the last race here in Watkins Glen International Speedway we've only got two turns that go in two big jumps Madi Brabham he just steals Robby Gordon's line right now he goes way wises I know where you're gonna be how I'm gonna go there to Robby Gordon he goes wide dude he sticks to his line I think there's enough room for Brad to be able to hang on to it look at him nice calm cool collected he just has the problems too in any form of racecars nice and easy yesterday we saw him break a shock here he's good nice and clean one big turn to go Gordon's gonna push as hard as he can but I don't think he's got what it takes to beat Pattie problem today in the checkered flags fly for the developments number 83 of Madi Brabham p2 is Robby Gordon p3 Paul the dude Morris same Fleur we saw on the podium in just a different order so very exciting stuff here from Watkins Glen International Speedway then adjust a few laws we'll be back to talk to our winner and Wow stadium super trucks on CBS Sports report is sponsored by KMC wheels precision for entry sites environments and by speed energy fuel the need the need for speed and we are back united fiber data at the gland this is speed energy Stadium super trucks and there is our winner Betty Brabham the winner of race number two is number 83 and developers trucks let's take a moment and look up the results for round 20 here these are the final results maddie Brabham Robby Gordon and Paul Morris they're on the podium bill high as he rounds out your top ten great racing let's take a moment to go down and talk to our winner Matt he grabs I think it's more fun in the wet there it's like it's like kind of like these things are used to the dirt boy design for the dirt but I mean they they do just as well on the wet tracks and I mean there's so much fun sliding these these things around I mean we got 600 horsepower in this developers truck and you can pretty much will spin any way around the track even going you know down the backstraight at top speed so I'd have blast out there I think I was just able to find the grip a little bit more than the other guys behind me I know Robby was quicker and some positive track and I was better than others and I just really have to get the win I mean what a battle we had yesterday and today yeah very how'd he get get these to finally and from the top step well congratulations to our winner Madi Brabham here are points after round 20 Matthew Brabham and Paul Morris are having a great close race here Robby Gordon Gavin Harlan and shelled agreed round out here top five it's a wild action here from you d at the Glen seen a lot of contact a lot of great racing I've never disappointed with SST a fantastic show as always and as Maddie said a little more exciting than the rain either absolutely it was good stuff for United Barber
