I agree, there's been some roll overs in the past, just seems the flips are worse this year. Gee, don't remember any truck torn up like Mike's in the past. Maybe that's what makes it seem more severe this year. I imagine it adds a thrill to the fans in the stands...................it's costly from our side, though, and then there's always the chance of someone getting hurt. Thank heavens for good roll cages and safety equipment!well lets see ask jerry butler he rooled at limaland and last year the annoncer (not the one wmp got now) called that one truck that flip out of turn 4, hitious and i know there was more but dont remember the #'s or names but have seen other rolls at wmp in the trucks.

Higher center of gravity + higher speed + Lots of side bite
That is pretty much your answer for all the rollovers !!!! Thanks AK1
However back in the 80's we ran DOT tires (real pain) and I still barrel rolled and did the end over end thing as they call it? It don't matter much to a driver what the tire size is WHEN YUR HANGIN ON WAITIN FOR IT TO STOP ALREADY

Crowder twice, Shackelford, Dolan, 9J (dont remember name), Voisard, Philpot...those are the ones that come to mind right now that have flipped prior to this season. But I know what you mean, seems like it has happened alot more this year. It seems they are more violent flips than in the past.
The Hoosier comment was about the reason why they half to run a hoosier, I wasn't trying to sound ungreatful or anything. These darn puters make everything come out bad. LOL Missed watching Jess tonight!!

There have been a bunch of them. a couple at Limaland, the first year we ran there, in 06 (#22, & #33). Let's see Dave Voisard in 55, and Justin Dierdorff in the #9j/Dennis West in the 54, and the #11 Shackelford truck have been upside down before, too! I also remember the 22 on it's lid, and even the 43.
Can't forget Randy Hamp in the 71 last year, either.
I'm sure there have been a couple of others, too...
We have some decent video on some of these (both limalands, the 55, 9j, 54, and maybe the 71) and some other pretty hairy moments in the truck class, including the biggest ever fireball from a truck... LOL. Also, the hardest hit for a truck- #81, at Limaland.
;o)
