Texas native David Starr finishes 9th in the Chex 400 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. Starr put the No. 75 Spears Manufacturing Silverado in the 3rd place starting position for the Friday evening event.
“We weren’t very happy with the truck during practice but McCarty (Dave, crew chief) worked his magic and we qualified 3rd for the race,” David Starr said. “We knew conditions would change on the track since we were racing at night. I felt I had a good enough truck, but it would get pretty loose and then it would get pretty tight. We had the right truck in our Spears Manufacturing Silverado tonight but we were really loose in the corners and we just couldn’t get it dialed in where we needed it to be.”
The Texas native has been searching for a win in his past 14 career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts at the Texas Motor Speedway but once again could not get to the checkered first.
“Texas Motor Speedway is a tough place to win a race,” Starr said. “We’ve been trying for so long, and have been close so many times, but for some reason we just can’t get it over the ‘edge’ per say. We can’t get to that checkered flag first. I'm disappointed with the finish for the Spears Racing team. I had high hopes for a win. It's not what we wanted, but it wasn’t a bad finish – we’ll take the top-10 and head to Michigan to go for the win in the Chevy Silverado.
