Ben Rhodes: Runner-up Finish at Bristol

Rhodes finished second in the UNOH 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Thursday night.

Analysis:

Rhodes started 19th on the grid and made a determined drive forward in this 250-lap short track battle. The ThorSport Racing veteran would work his way through the field and break into the Top 10 by late in stage 2. Rhodes would finish that segment of the race in fifth-place. He would use that good track position over the final stage to race up to second-place and finish 0.759-seconds back of Layne Riggs. It was Rhodes' fifth Top 5 of the season.
