Brian Ickler made his first start in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort/Samsung Instinct Toyota Tundra NASCAR Camping World Truck Saturday, April 25, 2009 at Kansas Speedway. 

The 23 year old, Ickler placed the Billy Ballew Motorsports entry in the ninth-place position for the 250 mile, 167 lap race with a qualifying time of 32.549 seconds at a speed of 165.904 miles per hour.

From the drop of the green flag Ickler began his training in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort/Samsung Instinct Toyota Tundra, losing a few spots until he settled in 14th-place position at the first caution on lap 6.  Ickler continued to stay in the top-15 until Doug George called him down pit road on lap 39 for fuel and returning the next lap to take only two right side tires.  This call put Ickler out for the restart in the second place position on lap 42.

Ickler continued to maintain the position when tornados near Kansas Speedway suspended the race until Monday, April 27th.

When the race resumed Monday, Ickler sat in the second place position on the lap 61 restart.  He reported being free in the corners and came in under caution on lap 74 for four tires and adjustments filing out in the 10th-place position.    Ickler managed to adjust his line on the race track picking up positions on the race track and came in for fuel only on lap 90. 

“This track is very line sensitive,” Ickler explained during the caution on lap 100.  “If I arc into turn I’m not as loose as I am when I am not backing up my corner.”  (more…)
