Auburn, NY (12/30/12) - Since 2003, OLRtv and Matt Thomas created the idea of LIVE streaming coverage of Sim Racing events. OLRtv started with 320x240 streaming video at a bitrate of 200 kb/sec, which was on the cutting edge at that time. For 2012 OLRtv ramped up services to provide 1280x720 (720p) HD streaming for thousands of viewers to enjoy. For 2013, OLRtv based events will joining forces with WRN to keep all race broadcasting under one umbrella. Viewers will now be able to take advantage of the technology that WRN has been using to cover their events, and will surely get more attention from the many fans of the iRacing community as well. We now bid farewell to OLRtv and welcome them to the WRN family for 2013 and beyond.

Mooresville, North Carolina's Josh Berry was at the right place at the right time on Thursday night to claim his first win of the GSRacing.net Truck Series season in the JDR Graphics 125. Berry swept to the lead for the final time on the last lap of the race when Byron Daley (Bronx, NY) pushed high out of the final corner, grabbing a small piece of the wall with the right rear of his MattDRacing.com Silverado. The small miscue from Daley opened the door for Berry to drive to the inside and take the victory by a truck length in the #72 Main Performance PC Chevrolet. Daley held on for second while point leader Thomas Hazard (Rochester, MN) crossed the line in third and in turn extended his point lead in the series with two races to go before the Chase for the Championship cut-off. Danny Hansen (Amherst, WI) brought home fourth place after a frantic push to the front following a late pit stop. Patrick Fogel (Hughesville, PA) held on for a top five finish in Event Eight of 15 on the GSRacing.net Truck Series slate.

Berry was in third place when leaders Jon Adams and Joshua Laughton made contact on lap eighty-seven of the 110-lap affair, sending both leaders for a spin. Berry then had to hold off Thomas Hazard and Brad Wright who had closed in on the leader in the late stages. The two got side-by-side in the closing laps as they battled for the second spot with Wright getting the best of Hazard for the runner-up spot.

A hard charging Bryan Blackford came home in fourth as he closed in on the top trio in his #33 Triad Lawn Care Chevrolet Silverado. Completing the top five was Chris Henion, who got by the #2 of Ray Alfalla after Alfalla got a “Darlington Stripe” in the final laps of the race.

Wright had to hold off Brandon Buchberger and Thomas Hazard on a green-white-checkered finish, which was cut to one lap after a wreck between Rod Merritts Jr and Jody Green.
