TRUCKS: Garvey Loses Engine, Finishes Last at Charlotte
Mike Garvey picked up the 2nd last-place finish of his Camping World Truck Series career in Friday’s North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when his #93 S&W Services Chevrolet fell out with an engine failure after completing 9 of the race’s 134 laps.
Garvey solidly made the field for Friday’s race, having qualified 27th at a speed of 171.668 mph, but went behind the wall two laps before the first caution fell on lap 11. Wayne Edwards, the current last-place leader in the Truck Series, was one of the three trucks who failed to qualify for the race. Edwards has yet to make a Truck Series race in 2010.
Garvey continued the streak of different drivers to finish last in each race during the 2010 Truck Series season, but now the #93 Shane Sieg-owned team is tied with Chris Lafferty’s #89 for the Team Rankings lead.
STATS AND FACTS
