Tim Bainey Jr. and the No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog NASCAR Truck Series Team came up .019 seconds short of making the field for the Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway this past weekend.

With rain throughout the area, the team was only able to get 22 laps of practice in what was supposed to be a three-hour session. It proved to be a big factor in the team's first trip to the famed half-mile track.

"It's a tough way to come home from a race," said Bainey. "The rain really cut our practice time, and we came here with a new setup. We made three total runs, and got better every time out - but we just came up short on time. To miss it by less than two hundredths of a second, that just made it a tough day."

Martinsville was the last scheduled event for the #00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck Series Team. In six attempts this season, Bainey and the Aaron's Team posted a season high 15th place finish at Dover, and a top qualifying effort of 21st at New Hampshire Speedway.

Bainey also led laps at Dover and currently sits 42nd in the 2009 Drivers Points Standings. The No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck Team will be announcing its 2010 plans in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime, Bainey, his wife Nikki, and the AARON'S DREAM TEAM EXPRESS TOUR will continue their nationwide tour with a number of appearances over the next few weeks.
