In what has become tradition the last few years, a time to reflect on the 2011 Camping World Truck Series season is upon us. While many do their "Best and Worst" or "Top Moments" from a season now complete, I've enjoyed reliving races through the drivers.

When Matt Kenseth launched his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career, back in 2003, he made quick work of establishing a fan base. He also made quick work of creating a successful tenure as the driver of the #17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford.

While the drivers and teams continuing celebrating in Las Vegas, we continue counting down to the 2012 Daytona 500, which is just 87 days away.

Last year, Joe Denette started a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team with his winnings from the Mega Millions Virginia Lottery drawing.

The number 88 has an impressive history in NASCAR and a who’s-who list of drivers and owners whose cars have been adorned with the number.

Shane Wilson has been named the crew chief of the No. 29 Budweiser/Rheem/Jimmy John's team with driver Kevin Harvick for the 2012 season.

89 days remain until they fire the engines at Daytona, so the focus today is on a number that has seen scarce use compared to others in NASCAR’s top series. Car no. 89 has only been used in 266 races.

As 2011 wraps up and Tony Stewart enjoys his third Sprint Cup title, many teams are already looking to Daytona and the 2012 season, hoping they’ll be the team seated at the champions’ table next year.

Steve Addington replaces Darian Grubb as the crew chief for the Stewart-Haas Racing's No. 14 team with driver Tony Stewart effective immediately.

The past two Sprint Cup Series seasons the driver entering the finale in Homestead-Miami as the championship point leader, as well as fan and driver favorite, left that Sunday night empty handed.
