Hickory Motor Speedway 2024
Hickory Motor Speedway is known as "America's Most Famous Short Track". The asphalt oval is 0.363 miles long with 14 degrees banking in Turns 1 & 2, and 12 degrees banking in Turns 3 & 4. Semi racing is tight on this small track, but the fans are great!

[DNF #20 - #21 - #16 - #4 - #00 - #51 - #01]
The Feature Race started with an inversion of positions, moving #88 from first position to last. He quickly started passing trucks making it to 5th for the Lap 8 Restart, when #51 headed into the pits with brake issues.
The Lap 10 restart required a restart when #4 came down on #41 in the front row, then spun to face #41 for a hard kiss. The #9 spun on the inside trying to avoid the wreck, but #01 crashed into the back of #4/#41 on the outside wall, sending #4 to the pits and moving #88 from 3rd to 2nd.
In Lap 13 the #16 spun coming out of Turn 4 going into the wall in front of the stands (and one camera!) resulting in another restart after #16 left the track. The #9 spun in Turn 2 resulting in another restart as he left the track to replace a bent wheel. The #21 left the track shortly after the Lap 13 Restart.
During the Lap 25 caution #20 was blackflagged for replacing a fuse on track where he had stopped.
Marshall Davis in #41 took 1st, Mike Morgan in #88 was 2nd, and Allen Boles in #3 placed 3rd after a tough race that saw only 5 of 12 trucks finish.
