Knocking off the new...

The only truck showing any signs of a scrape with the wall here at Lucas Oil Raceway during my initial walk up pit road was the No. 13 Chevy driven by Johnny Sauter. It looked like Sauter scuffed the nose and the tail just enough to knock the paint off of it. Remember, the groove is from the middle of the track to the wall here, and on a fast lap the drivers are very close to the wall coming out of the turns. Sauter's truck may be the first but it won't be the last to have some battle scars here today.
