NASCAR Truck Series

MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 ChiChi’s/Menards Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing - What is your outlook for this weekend at Pocono Raceway? “Just go into this race like we do each and every race. Just try to go and lead laps and put ourselves in position to win. We haven’t really honestly looked at points."

What Turn Four?... The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) heads to the track this weekend in Long Pond, Pennsylvania known as the “Tricky Triangle” for the Pocono Mountains 150. Travis Kvapil will make his 1st NCWTS start at the Pocono Raceway.

Last week at Eldora Speedway, Korbin Forrister created quite a firestorm in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series garage when he decaled his unsponsored Chevy Silverado with his own “Trump for President” paint scheme.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series travel to Pocono Raceway this week while the XFINITY Series competes at Iowa Speedway.

After a strong run earlier in the season at Atlanta, Pennsylvania native Garrett Smithley returns to the #63 SegPay Chevy Silverado for MB Motorsports in the Pocono Mountains 150.

Back we go to Pocono, where Martin Truex Jr. won in the spring, where all of the Hendrick drivers shared in winning the previous five. A Busch has won there, twice. His name is Kurt.

The Pocono Mountains 150 at Pocono Raceway will feature the stars of the NASCAR Camping World Series (NCWTS), along with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) drivers Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski, on Saturday August 1st.

It is a big week for NASCAR. First we had Eldora and over the weekend Indianapolis. I guess I’m pondering the great love affair with a truck race on dirt and the revival of the road race. Once upon a time, the fan base hated road courses and didn’t acknowledge dirt tracks because they were “minor league.”

In one of the most anticipated races of the year, Christopher Bell scored a dramatic win in the third annual 1-800-CAR-CASH Mud Summer Classic on the famed Eldora Speedway dirt. It was the first victory for Bell in just his third career start. Bell’s triumph marked back-to-back victories for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the No. 54 Toyota Tundra at Eldora.

BUSCH BATTLING BACK: Camry driver Kyle Busch recorded his third NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) victory in the last four races with a win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. After going a lap down early in the event, Busch battled back and led 96 laps (of 301) to take the checkered flag. With his victory, the Toyota driver now sits just 58 points shy of 30th place in the NSCS point standings, where he must reach to compete for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in seven more races. Busch missed the first 11 events of the NSCS season while recovery from injuries sustained in an accident during a NASCAR XFINTY Series (NXS) race in February and returned to competition in May.
