Kyle Busch won his third straight race in the Camping World Truck Series, during only his fifth race of the Camping World Truck Series, on Saturday during the Heluva Good! 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

After the quick fuel stop, he was able to get back out on the track ahead of Hornaday, who had a problem with the length of …read more

Mike Skinner kept his truck in the center of the track and out of trouble with the other trucks Saturday in the Camping World Truck Series Copart 200 to cross the finish line ahead of his competition in a green-white-checkered flag finish at Gateway International Raceway.
Events turned a little unfortunate for the first and second place trucks as they were taken out of the race in back to back restarts with just ten laps remaining in the Copart 200 in incidents with Matt Crafton. During the first restart, Crafton was third, but decided to jump inside of Todd Bodine, who …read more

Fans, NASCAR professionals, and even viewers on television might have been surprised by thousands of empty seats being visible in the stands at Chicagoland Speedway last weekend during the NASCAR competitions being held at this facility in Joliet, Ill. This must be a stress filled site for NASCAR officials watching the race and employees of this track on the far outskirts of Chicago. Especially since this track isn’t one of the larger capacity tracks that have been having trouble filling up to capacity, but a moderate facility designed for around 75,000 fans. Craig Rust, the new track president at Chicagoland …read more

Ron Hornaday will probably be wishing for rain every time he’s scheduled to race at Milwaukee on a Friday night, as re-scheduling the Copart 200 Camping World Truck Series race to Saturday resulted in the Kevin Harvick Inc. racer dominating from start to finish on his 51st birthday. His truck ran beautifully around the track and appeared to be running a lot better than his competitors, who were having their problems. His crew chief Rick Ren decided to make a few changes after Friday’s practice session that definitely helped improve the truck’s performance and helped lift Hornaday above his competition …read more
