Lia's Save

If you missed the race last night, you missed one of the most phenomenal saves I've ever witnessed.

Donny Lia lost it out of T4 and spun, out of control, toward the pit wall at high speed. He kept the wheels locked in the grass but as soon as he hit the pit lane, heading at a right angle toward the pit wall, he floored it and the forward power of his wheels slowed the spin and he kept the truck off the pit wall!

There was lots of good truck control in evidence last night, especially by Hornaday, Benson and T.J. Bell in the first lap wreck. But Lia's was the kind of driving that is rare.
