Series officials announced today two rules changes effective immediately in the Super Trucks Series.
1. Series official practice has been lengthened by thirty minutes and will now start at 6:30 PM EST. 2. Series overtime rules have been overhauled to hopefully reduce the carnage at the end of the races. ---Overtime Rules - There are unlimited attempts in overtime. - If the leader reaches the overtime line on the first lap after the restart, the lap will be considered complete. In the event of a caution at this point, the white flag will be waved. - If the leader completes the first lap, the white flag is waving, and the caution comes out, the field is frozen, and on the following restart the race will be restarted with 1 lap remaining. - If the leader reaches the overtime line on the white flag and the caution comes out, the field will race to the line. - If the leader receives the white flag in regular race distance but has not reached the overtime line, the field will be frozen, and there will be 1 lap to go on the following overtime restart After a spree of cautions late in the France.fr 200 at the Autodrome de Paris, Jeffery McClintock was able to hold off the hard charging RPM due of Cosmin Ioanesiu and Robert Panko to take home the checkered flag!

Congratulations to Brandon Lawson on his victory tonight in the Ford Eco Boost at Homestead-Miami Speedway! Brandon has become the third repeat winner of the season. Early on in the race, Dodge Motorsports, the 12 & 13 Trucks of Jeffery McClintock and Jack Merkle specifically, were the class of the field, opening up sizable leads during extended green flag sessions. But as the race neared 2/3 completion, the cautions came into play. This allowed points leader Blake Trawick and Lawson to get in on the action and put their Ram & Ram Rebel trucks into the mix for the win, and ultimately Lawson came out on top in the second Overtime attempt of the race. Thanks to all who showed up, and we look forward to seeing you all next week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indianapolis 200. Someone gets to kiss the bricks next Tuesday. Practice opens at 7 PM EST, with qualifying at 7:30 PM EST. See ya there!
