NASCAR Truck Series

Back On Track... The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) heads to the dirt track this weekend in Rossburg, Ohio for the 1-800-CARCASH MUD SUMMER CLASSIC. Travis Kvapil will make his 1st NCWTS start at the famous Eldora Speedway.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Eldora Speedway Wednesday for the 1-800-CAR-CASH Mud Summer Classic; the only dirt race on the NASCAR national series schedule. It has quickly become a fan favorite since its debut in 2013 and this year’s race promises to deliver more of what fans have come to expect at this unique event.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series superstar Brad Keselowski will pilot the No. 29 Ford in Wednesday’s 1-800-CAR-CASH Mud Summer Classic (9 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1) at Eldora Speedway. He is the first NSCS champion to compete in the event.

For the second race in the span of four days, a driver has gotten up into the catchfence at a race track.

In a race that ended five laps short of its scheduled distance, polesitter Matt Crafton was declared the winner of Thursday night’s UNOH 225 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event after Ben Kennedy’s Toyota damaged the catchfence at Kentucky Speedway beyond the track’s capacity to repair it expeditiously.

“I love it – just how rough the place is and all the different grooves that it’s had over the years. You definitely can move around and search for different grooves. It seems to promote side-by-side racing so hopefully we will put on a great show if we can get it in tonight.”
