    Weekly Recap with Tyler Truex: Garden State Classic 26'

    This week on Splash of Gas, Dave is joined once again by Tyler Truex for the weekly update following a wild Garden State Classic at Wall Stadium. After a hectic week of preparation, Tyler rolled out the No. 69 Modified for one of the toughest races on the schedule—a grueling 125-lap battle that tested drivers, equipment, and tire management. From a strong qualifying effort and a top-five starting spot to battling early race balance and long-run tire falloff, Tyler walks us through how the race unfolded from inside the cockpit. The night didn't come without adversity, as an on-track incident forced the team to regroup and fight their way to the finish. Tyler also gives his insight on the ongoing conversation around tires and resin at Wall Stadium, and how those factors played into the overall race. All that and more as we break down another intense weekend on the short track scene—only on Splash of Gas.
