From the Driver’s Seat: Cory Roper: “It was a frustrating day not being able to compete with a great truck. Not happy with the finish but excited about the way the truck handled and the speed we had. Shane, Chris and all the guys are building fast trucks and we will keep pushing.” From the Pit Box: Shane Whitbeck: “We had some issues right at the start of the race and it was just hard to overcome that. Cory did a good job and stayed with it all day. We learn a lot about the truck and what he needs on the short tracks. I feel good about going to more of them and I can’t wait to get to Kansas.” Roper’s 2021 Camping World Truck Series Stats Starts Wins Top 5 Top 10 Poles Laps Led Avg. Start Avg.
