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.
The last time Jeff Gordon visited Pocono Raceway, the No. 24 Chevrolet had a great finish. This time he will have the same great finish - just with a different name.
David Gilliland says you have to go against your instincts to master Pocono Raceway. While drivers usually concentrate on their car's handling in the first corner they approach, the driver of the No. 38 Long John Silver's Ford says the focus needs to be on Turn 3 of the track known as the "Tricky Triangle."
Most drivers walk away from their first experience at Pocono Raceway shaking their heads. The 2.5-mile triangular oval with three different corners can be difficult to learn and master, but Josh Wise found good speed in his No. 35 MDS Transport Ford in his first two visits last year. 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.
Travis Pastrana visits Iowa Speedway for the second time in his NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) career. In his other NNS start at the .88-mile track, he finished 26th.
Mark Martin doesn’t have a racing bucket list, but if he did Pocono Raceway might be at the top of the list. Pocono, Homestead, Indianapolis, Daytona and Kentucky are the only active tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit where Martin has not won.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) takes top billing this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway for a standalone race in the Lone Star State. Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) is tied with Martinsville Speedway and Kentucky Speedway as the track in which Miguel Paludo has made the most starts. In his five previous events at TMS, Paludo has earned two top 10s, with a best finish of eighth scored in 2011. 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). Burton has never competed at TMS in his short NCWTS career, but he's proven himself at intermediate tracks. In only 11 NCWTS starts, Burton has scored two poles and three top-10 finishes at tracks one to two miles long.
