After 4 races in the inaugural iRacing Truck series, a picture is emerging for the championship contenders to watch out for. Leading the charge is Denis Razumov with 2 wins from the 4 races to date. Taking the other two wins is his Btards fap posse team-mate Eugene Mozgunov, the Russian pairing have dominated the first quarter of the season and it remains to be seen if the best of the rest can mount a charge on the high speed, high banked Talladega Superspeedway next Wednesday.

Ian Smiff along with Team Ecosse pairing James Ewens and Steve Smith close out the top 5.

V8 rookie Denis Razumov notched up a dominating win at the Lowes Motor Speedway Wednesday evening, leading home fellow countryman Eugene Mozgunov to score Russia's first ever one-two in the V8Thunder event, Ian Smiff stole 3rd from Team Ecosse's Thomas Hendrickson at the last turn as the American was delayed trying to overcome the Russian motor train up front.

With the first half of the race running caution free, and a surprisingly low total of only 4 cautions over the 90 laps, all of the 16 drivers did an exceptional job to keep the racing clean as well as entertaining.

Next event on the iRacing Truck Series is at Phoenix next week.

Rookie Arron Maspero took a first blood victory in Trucks pre-season thunder at the Michigan International Speedway, Maspero held off a final turn challenge from V8 regular Martin Buchan to lead home from fellow rookie Gareth Hickling, Ian Smiff finished third, backwards, with Thomas Hendrickson rounding out the top 4 who were covered by 7 tenths of a second.

The next pre-season thunder event takes place next Wednesday at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Trucks Season Round-up – Jack Keithley had an outstanding season at V8Thunder; his Truck series performance must rank amongst the all-time greats. He led the series in wins (11); Top 5's (14); Poles (11) and laps led (703). However, the most telling stats are points related; his 449 point margin to 2nd place is over 2 whole races ahead, while he only earned 35 penalty points over his 18 races. He has truly set the bar high for future Truck series champions to live up to, although the move to iRacing may shake up the competition from next season. Steve Smith raced to a runners-up spot in the standings; consistency was once again the key for “Smithers” as despite no wins from 17 starts, he had a series high 17 top 10's and only failed to finish one race. Ian Smiff finished 3rd in the standings, 170 points behind his “name-similar” with a win and a pole to show from his 15 starts, he easily won the Independent's Cup for the 5th season running. Honourable mention to George Sokolowski, who completed more laps than any other driver (1669, 94% of all laps). SRD International won the Team title by 115 points from Team Ecosse A, thanks mainly to Keithley with backup from Chris Hill and Mathieu Souphy. Alex Pab added the Trucks Rookie title to his Lites one to score a double in his first season at V8, an impressive start by the Russian who only picked up 15 penalty points from his 12 starts. England provided the top 3 finishers in the Trucks championship and once again took the Nations Cup.

The finals week continued with the ever popular Summer 2009 Trucks Series finale at Homestead. #14 Chris Hill bagged the pole, posting exactly the same time as #47 Ben Parker with #44 Jack Keithley rolling off 3rd. 16 drivers started the 94 lap, 141 mile race and the action slowed on 6 occasions for 22 laps. 8 drivers led laps, swapping the lead 14 times throughout the race. #11 Mike Sadownik led 24 laps for the bonus. When all was said and done, a familiar story began telling itself once again. As the checkers waved, Jack Keithley was the first truck across the stripe, winning for the 16th time this season, his 49th career win. #06 Ian Smiff was 2nd, with #38 Erik Gelotte in 3rd, Sadownik was 4th with CJ finishing 5th.

Pocono Raceway - Jack Keithley took the pole for the Truck race and dominated the race along with Chris Hill, the SRD boys leading 45 of the 60 laps. Keithley won, with CJ in 2nd and Peter Andersson was 3rd.
