After analyzing the IRC tracking data from the "black box," the No. 20 Trophy Truck, was assessed a 14 minute time penalty for speed violations in restricted areas (pits and Power Plant Road). Adjusting the finishing times in accordance to the speed violations, the Trophy Truck finished the Primm 300 race in 4 hours, 50 minutes and 20 seconds. After the assessed time penalties were recalculated into the overall results, Robby Gordon in the No. 77 Trophy Truck moved up from the second position to claim the overall win with a 1 minute and 2 second lead.

"When more of the competitors are doing it wrong than are doing it right then obviously there is an enormous breakdown in communication between SCORE and the racers. I don't believe in breaking the rules, but on the other hand I also don't think Rob MacCachren was out there in the pits intentionally speeding. It is so easy to reach 51, 52 or even 53 mph and not realize it and then hit the brakes and back off the throttle - by then the damage is already done. I honestly don't think the punishments are fitting to the crime and there has to be a better answer," said Mike Julson, owner of Jimco and builder of the two Rockstar/MasterCraft Trophy Trucks.

As a driver, team owner, and a manufacturer in this industry I will commit to helping find a better solution to these last minute results shake-ups, IRC is not the answer to all of our problems. To have an overall win removed by a few pings from a satellite is not in keeping with the true spirit of the competition," commented Pierce.
