Allen, the 2007 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year, made his third start for the team this season and hoped to improve on his fifteenth-place finish at Kentucky Speedway in July. Throughout the first 100 laps, Allen wheeled the No. 81 Chevrolet through the field and broke into the top-20 by lap 40, but contact from another truck on lap 122, left Allen and the Randy Moss Motorsports team with a damaged Silverado and a frustrating night.
“I was racing hard there, side-by-side going into turn one, and all of a sudden, the 71 truck (Donny Lia) made it three wide on the bottom,” said Allen. “He completely just dive-bombed his truck in there. He went all the way down on the apron and when he came back up, he had nowhere to go but run into us. That left us with nothing to do but hold on and it unfortunately took us out of the race.”
Despite fighting a tight condition through practice, qualifying, and the beginning of the race, Allen felt that the adjustments that crew chief Eric Phillips was making, were helping the overall handling of the truck.
“The No. 81 Rascal Flatts/GoDaddy.com Chevrolet was tight the whole weekend, but the adjustments that my crew chief Eric Phillips was making during the race were really starting to help the handling of the truck,” Allen said. “We were really gaining ground there and then we got wrecked. It’s just very unfortunate because we were all looking for another solid performance. But, I need to thank Rascal Flatts and the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau for coming back on board this week and continuing to support our efforts.”
With the disappointing 27th-place finish, Randy Moss dropped two spots to nineteenth in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series owner’s point standings. Moss is only 41 points behind the fifteenth position.
