Truck Series’ Bristol Rookie Drops Harsh 5-Word Verdict on Connor Jones’ Dangerous “Video-Game” Move

The Truck Series race at the Bristol Motor Speedway saw Keith McGee make his debut on the track’s asphalt surface but it came with a lot of trials and tribulations. The Reaume Brothers Racing driver was spun around early in the race, sustaining a lot of damage, and then towards the end of stage 2, he found himself in a precarious situation with Connor Jones. The 42-year-old was not happy, and he made his feelings known after the race.

McGee did well to keep himself in the race and bring the #22 truck back in one piece to the pits after the race ended in P32, scoring 5 points in the process. Had it not been for the unfortunate incident, he might have finished a lot higher which would have made for a memorable evening for the veteran.

Part-time Truck Series racer had a rough “learning experience”

After the race came to an end, Keith McGee expressed his disappointment at where he finished in the race but said that he would use it as a learning experience for the fall race at Bristol. When it comes to how Connor Jones drove, he was a bit hesitant at first but acknowledged that the driver of the #66 truck should have been penalized as he could have done a lot of damage to the #22.

“We had another incident with the #66 when he shot the apron like it was a video game and slammed into me on the left side, did a lot of damage. But you know, I just used it as a good learning experience so I can come back here in the fall and run better and keep progressing,” he said. “I don’t know what his intentions were. Definitely should probably be a penalty. He could have damaged way more than he did.”

The veteran race car driver had a proper spin within the first few laps of the race which effectively ruined his track position for the long run. He was squeezed between two trucks in that incident and there was nothing he could have done about it.

It all happened much too fast for the driver of the #22, who was taken by surprise. McGee was sandwiched between Taylor Gray and Stephen Parsons, both of whom made the move to get past him at the same time. The result was the worst-case scenario for the Reaume Brothers Racing driver who said that it was just a part of short-track racing.

“I’ve no idea. All of a sudden I looked at my mirror and saw him on the inside of me blow the apron and I was like “Uh oh,” I had a truck on the outside of me and there was not much I could do…so I just waited for him to get into me and then I just chased up the track and stayed in it and yeah, it’s unfortunate but you know, it’s racing, short track,” he said.

The next time Keith McGee races in the NASCAR Truck Series, he will be looking for redemption. However, for a part-time racer, finishing high up the pack can be a huge challenge. Will the veteran racer be able to impress the next time he is on track? Let us know your thoughts.
