Engine Problems Plague MB Motorsports

- For Immediate Release
Craftsman Truck Series Rookie Larry Gunselman and the Waterloo Tool Storage
MB Motorsports #63 Ford team invaded Mesa Marin Speedway last weekend with high
hopes for a good finish in the Orchard Supply Hardware 250. Unfortunately,
engine problems relegated them to a 26th place finish in the race.
"We had a pretty decent truck," stated Gunselman. "I was able to get as high
as 17th early on before we broke a valve spring or something.
The truck kept running, but it ruined our chances. I just had to stay
out of the way and ride around until the end.”
Gunselman was able to stay out of trouble until late in the race when he was
caught up in a wreck. Fortunately, the truck suffered only minor body
damage and was able to continue.
Larry Gunselman is now 23rd in the Craftsman Truck Series Driver
Standings and the team is 25th in the owners’ standings.
The Craftsman Truck Series’ next race is the Advance Auto Parts 250 from Martinsville
Speedway at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday April 7. ESPN & MRN will provide
live coverage of the event. It will be the first race at Martinsville for Gunselman.
