In the wee hours this morning two trucks jockeying for position on the highway from Charlotte to Darlington crashed in Pageland, SC. No word yet as to whether a Petty #43 employee was wheeling the Smithfield Foods truck!

Well my bet is that the truck that says Smithfield on rear of trailer is not an employee of Smithfield. That telltale sticker says C.R.England which is a contract carrier who uses their own trainees .. The other truck is a tossup on who,what or where...

So NASCAR might fine the CR England rookie for not running a yellow bumper?

Well Dave if you look at rear bumper on trailer it does have florescent red and silver warning on ICC bumper. That means warning too doesnt it?

Turns out it was Smithfield's hams vs. Tyson's chickens. News reports say the Tyson driver, who was pulled from his wrecked cab, suffered only minor injuries.

It happened at the NC SC state line. The Tyson truck was changing lanes with his signal on, the other truck thought the Tyson truck was turning, and pulled out onto 601 in front of him, BAM!
