Spoiler:

Not a very good day for me lol.

That was a failtastic race...

I don't think that Grand Detour is a good opener, but that's just me.

Pierce Livid after Grand Detour

"Abbot and Tipsun are complete dumba**es! They are completely oblivious to their surroundings and because of that a bunch of drivers including my teammate and I, trucks were trashed! Learn how to race and most importantly stay away from me next week because I don't let go of a grudge easily! Top 15 truck that ended up 35th thanks to those morons.... I'll see those two at Salem."

Dalton however... less angry

"I'm upset, mad, disappointed, but mostly relived. All i saw after hitting the 099 was Lace getting T-boned by all those trucks and i think that scared me the most. So I'm glad shes ok and I'm leaving it at that"

Isabella Reynolds pleased with debut.

"Today wasn't the best day, but the Taco Bueno Dodge held up just long enough for me to make it to the end, and finish 5th, no less." Isabella Reynolds said, happy with her debut.

Kingston upset with Abbot

"I don't know what she was doing out there, she was a moving fail magnet." Austin Kingston said, displeased with Alicia Abbot's less-than-stellar performance.

Oh, boy.

I'll do what TheRacingExperts usually does on the EFR forums whenever a recap video comes up. Highlight to view:

1:20 That looks like what Steve Rada did in the NNRCS finale.
5:37 That looks like that giant pileup we had at the NNRCS race at Twin Ring Motegi. No brakes, just kept piling in...
8:47 Because I've been waiting to use this, and it's the best oppurtunity I've gotten so far, let me borrow a quote from Kyle Busch: "N IT DONT MATUR HOW LONGG U CAN PUSH, BCUZ IT GONA BE A GREEN WHAAAT CHECKUR."

Yeah, that's about it.

I thought you said all cars continue? Kenny Quinn didn't... darn it. I like the commentating you did for this race.

Eric Webler upset with Kenny Quinn

Eric Webler, owner of Webler Motorsports, was very upset after caution 5 when Kenny Quinn clipped the #45. Here is his exact words after the wreck. "You fu*king as*hole. I knew we would be involved with a wreck in this race, I guess I was supposed to expect this." He put the headset on to talk to Kenny Quinn. "Why the fu*k were you going that fast? You spotter was saying wreck ahead but no, your going to go full speed hoping your gonna avoid this. You know we got no sponsor, and 3 fu*king trucks in the shop, now we are down to 2. I'll give you two more chances, and your lucky I'm nice about that. If you wreck in the next two races, I'm pulling the truck entry or putting someone else in the truck. I'm glad I signed you for a year." Kenny Quinn was known for wrecking many cars but he started to show improvement in the last few races in New York Dirt Racing Championship Series but it looks like he is going back to his old ways. Kenny Quinn after the wreck. "I guess I'm sorry for what I did, I don't think I did anything wrong. I know we are on a low budget but I was just racing. I'll just go out and run last if that's what Eric wants."

Bleh! No. More. Grand. Failtour! EVER!

Jesse pleased with run,disappointed about how name was pronounced.

"Our truck was good although our handling was sort of bad, and whoever the f**k was on the booth messed up my name,badly, a 2 and a half year could pronounce my name correctly."


Cloutier fustrated for 30th place.blames brakes

"With all the bulls**t that happen, I didn't do anything, its just AARO truck brakes are s**t.Hell, a SND(Sportsman National Divison) brakes are better than these wasted pieces of crap."

Rodgers frustrated after debut

"I'm furious whoever sent me into the air during my front flip" "It was a scary ride, but I'm okay." "Let's hope I can get a better finish in the next race.."

[b]Rian Anderson: Just some bumps and bruises.
"that was, well obiously, a hard hit. AARO has made some great safety moves in the past, and that I am happy for"

McClure and Trewman unhappy with results

Byron McClure and Scott Trewman are unhappy with their finishing positions after they both started on the front row at Grand Detour.

"I'm upset and disappointed; but it's only my first race and I can't expect to win on debut. I hope to do better at the next race," said McClure.

"Even though I crashed, I still didn't finish last. Which is good, " said Trewman.

Trewman unharmed after crash
Scott Trewham has come away unharmed after rolling his car a few times. Trewman says that his arms a bit sore but says they should be better in a few days.
