John Mickel

Is it true John Mickel was pulled in for been too slow at the rock today?I think he finished last in the first race.

Not quite right, he came in with a problem went out again and then got a drive through penalty for holding up Michael Smith while being lapped.
To be fair John did say that he thought he would struggle to get on the pace our trucks are completely different to the craftsman trucks he's been driving and very difficult to set up spot on, and of course expectations were that he was going to do well (more pressure).

He came in because he cloinked the wall - he had a nice pair of whitewall tyres fitted to the right hand side of his truck.

I *think* it might have been T4 - a lot of guys were scraping the wall in there during race 1.

He was way off the pace all day though!

Wilky got an awesome turn 4 wall kiss in race 1, he went round about half the turn but it was so light it just rubbed the tyre and a bit of the arches; the rims weren't touched at all.

I think Gav Seager should be in the craftsman truck!

Probably wondering where his V8 was

In that case, can you please tell Wilky that his truck doesn't taste too good... I managed to get a mouthful of the rubbings as I was down in T4 for race 1. Gritty and rubbery comes to mind.

i seen it as that he held every one up even the two grindrod brothers as they went to lap him

He rubbed the wall between turns 2 and 3 while passing Michael Smith. The talk in the paddock was the #93 drifted up the track and put #5 in the wall. After the race the #5 crew were repairing the truck and there was lots of bent suspension bars on the floor around the truck, the axle had been moved across as well. Overheard crew discussing the engine was lacking fuel pressure - so a bad day all round.
