TRUCKS: Garvey Last For Second Consecutive Truck Race

Mike Garvey picked up the 9th last-place finish of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career in Friday’s AAA Insurance 200 at the Lucas Oil Raceway when his #38 S&W Services Chevrolet fell out with rear gear problems after 7 of the race’s 200 laps.

With 36 trucks qualifying for as many starting spots, Garvey timed in 31st at a speed of 104.128 mph. After narrowly avoiding a Lap 1 melee in turn one that damaged teammate Ryan Sieg’s #39, Garvey remained on track for the restart, raced for a couple laps, then pulled behind the wall.

Sieg finished 29th, seven laps down to race winner Timothy Peters. Team owner Shane Sieg, driving the third S&W truck - #93 - finished 35th after a vibration ended his run at 127 laps.
