· In the first practice, Compton posted the second fastest time on the time sheet. He averaged fourth overall in the session. Then during qualifying his race truck was loose which resulted in a 20th place starting position for the evening’s event.

· Once the green flag waved Compton was able to use the outside lane to jump up two spots to 18th by lap five.

· On lap 39 he radioed in to interim Crew Chief Charlie Wilson, "It is plowing in really bad," said Compton while running 18th. Wilson advised him to turn off his rear bead blower to help the truck turn better.

· The second caution waved on lap 86 for a spin in turn four. "I am loose everywhere," Compton said while under caution. Wilson brought Compton down pit for service. The Dodge Racing Team jumped into action changed all four tires, added fuel and made a wedge adjustment before Compton went back on his way. He restarted 21st.

· Compton was makeing his way around traffic when calamity happened in turn three. Compton held the No. 4 Wabash Valley Chrysler Dodge on the inside line when he entered the corner. Another competitor chose to make it three wide. The move didn’t quite work out as planned when the other truck hit Compton and pushed him into the vehicle on his outside. Two of them ended up in the wall sliding down the straightaway.

· Once Compton was able to re-fire his Dodge Ram he made his way down pit road. The Dodge Racing Team jumped into action with baseball bats and duct tape in hand to repair the damage. It took three trips down pit road to fix the front end of the mangled truck but the team managed to only lose one lap despite the challenging circumstances. Compton returned to the track in 29th position.

· In the final laps Compton was able to stay out of trouble and climb to a 23rd finishing position.
