The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will go back-to-back after competing at Dover International Speedway last weekend and head to the 'Wild Asphalt Circus' at Texas Motor Speedway to race under the lights on Friday night. John Wes Townley and his No. 7 Zaxby's Toyota Tundra are anxious for the 167 lap WinStar World Casino on the 1.5-mile quad oval. After a solid run and tying his highest career finish (eighth) at the intermediate track of Charlotte Motor Speedway this could be another solid weekend for the Red Horse Racing driver.

David Gilliland says you have to go against your instincts to master Pocono Raceway.

Most drivers walk away from their first experience at Pocono Raceway shaking their heads.

He and his Front Row Motorsports team look forward to returning to the Long Pond, Pa., track this weekend for the Sprint Cup Series' Party in the Poconos 400.
David Ragan thinks that recent changes at Pocono Raceway - shortening the race from 500 to 400 miles and repaving the 2.5-mile oval - have made the racing better. And he thinks the new Gen-6 Sprint Cup Series cars will improve the racing even more in 2013.

Intermediate tracks have historically been good to the 29-year-old Brazilian, who has earned 10 of his 17 career top-10 finishes at tracks between one and two miles in length.
Time To Two Step...Jeb Burton heads to Fort Worth, Texas as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) makes its first start of the season at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS).
