Will be running bull bar full time and intercooler is still located behind it.

Good to know! Thanks for finding out!

It did but it was like 11 laps down.

True but after a 24hr race and 725+ laps 11 down isnt a tragedy.

11 laps (40 miles) is still 11 laps but hey a LOT better than the GTs did!

Has anyone figured out if the Raptor has any competition in it's new class? Nothing on the 2/2 list.

34 spline FTW!!!

If ford wants to promote that this new truck is light years ahead of the last truck why not enter a gen 1 truck with same modifications and prove it on the track? In all the videos of them testing the new truck a gen 1 is always in the background so they have some trucks to work with

Does anyone know if any of this will be televised or streamed?

Not sure about any streaming. I've never found it if it's ever been done.

We get to see the new Ford Performance logo too.

I like that they put it in the Factory Stock. In 2009, they kind of cheated by building it into a Class 8 and claimed it was "mostly stock", when it mostly wasn't.

Looks like a lower optioned truck, no nav, plain tailgate, no front camera (i think).
Flappy paddle shifter?

I wouldn't count on the skid plating to be stock.

No matter who you are, you gotta love a race car with cupholders.

Doesn't it show 1200 class as ProTruck?

The gen 1 race truck met stock full requirements.

I think they took note of people saying the gen 1 race truck wasn't stock enough so this one is going to be really stock. Way more stock than a stock full.

It will race the 6 am start.
