What a crazy race. I was going to run out of gas. I was going to finish or fifth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riggs was apparently running on fumes and buried in fourth place when a race that had been delayed earlier by a red flag headed into a two-lap overtime on the 3.4-mile, 16-turn street course at Naval Base Coronado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe engine had sputtered even before the restart,\u201d said Riggs. \u201cI had no idea if I had enough fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But even if he did, there were three trucks ahead of him, including Front Row Motorsports teammate Chandler Smith, who looked to have the strongest entry as he held a strong lead just ahead of the late-race chaos.<\/p>\n<p>Kaden Honeycutt led on the final restart, but lost control with Smith sliding sideways in an effort to avoid a crash. That opened the door for 19-year-old Tyler Reif, who led deep into the final lap before he lost control and missed the turn into the final chicane \u2014 turning the lead and victory over to Riggs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if I was going to catch Reif,\u201d said Riggs. \u201cHe just missed the corner. I wasn\u2019t even pushing him there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI was pushing 101%,\u201d said Reif. \u201cIt was my mistake. I won\u2019t make that mistake again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=16720\">\u2018SVG\u2019 the driver to beat as San Diego hosts first-ever NASCAR Cup race on Sunday<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The victory was Riggs\u2019 third in the last four races.<\/p>\n<p>And while Jimmie Johnson finished 30th after a series of late-race problems, the seven-time NASCAR Cup champion from El Cajon had some memorable moments in his first Craftsman Trucks start in 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson qualified fourth and led briefly during the first half of the 50-lap, 160-mile race.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI heard from my team that when it gets to the end, get ready for a lot of plunges that don\u2019t make sense and you won\u2019t expect,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cI had two of those and got turned around. We had a strategy that could win the race. Who knows if we would have made it with all the carnage that took place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut hats off to NASCAR for putting this together. It was an exciting race for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson was running second with 19 laps to go when he was passed by Riggs. Three laps later he was spun out from behind by another truck, leading to a longer list of problems that included two more, 360-degree spins and a long pit stop.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson enjoyed a moment shortly after the track first opened for practice. His Toyota Tundra was allowed to be the first NASCAR race vehicle on the course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy plan was to start practice at around 80% and pick it up from there,\u201d said Johnson, who posted both the fourth-best practice and qualifying speed in just the second Craftsman Trucks start of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Honeycutt was the No. 1 qualifier at 90.813 mph. Riggs was second (90.535). Johnson was fourth at 89.736. Coronado\u2019s Austin Varco qualified 29th.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=16718\">Austin Hill scores first O\u2019Reilly Series win at Naval Base Coronado<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El Cajon native Jimmie Johnson finishes 30th in his first Craftsman Trucks series race in 17 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
