NASCAR Truck Series

Johnny Sauter would grab the lead with 17 laps to go from Jeb Burton and not look back as he would pick up his second straight victory of 2013.

Johnny Sauter's started from the pole for the Kroger 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway, but as good as his No. 98 Carolina Nut Co. / Curb Records Toyota practiced Friday, capped off by a fourth-place qualifying effort, Sauter's looking to repeat his winning performance from April 2011.

At the end of Camping World Truck Series qualifying, it'd be Jeb Burton scoring his first career pole in his seventh career truck start. The 20-year-old lapped the track in 19.589 seconds, 96.666 mph.

DARRELL WALLACE JR., No. 54 ToyotaCare Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports - Starting Position: 2nd - How do you expect the tires to wear during the race? "Unfortunately I haven't run here and this is my first race here so it will be difficult to tell, but I have been talking with the crew chiefs and some of the Cup drivers -- they're saying that these tires are going to fall off a little bit and the track is going to change and the trucks are going to change."

A couple of rookies in their first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway captured the front for Saturday’s Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway.

The wait is finally over. After two weeks of excitement and buzz, the NASCAR Sprint Cup cars return to the track Friday for practice and qualifying for the STP® Gas Booster™ 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Johnny Sauter led the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series standings for 10 weeks in 2011 before finishing second to Austin Dillon, so more than anyone at ThorSport Racing Sauter knows the value of momentum.

For the first time this season, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series make a visit to Martinsville Speedway for the Sprint Cup Series’ sixth race of the year and the Camping World Truck Series’ second race of the year.

Over a month has passed since the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series raced at the Daytona International Speedway. For veteran David Starr this weekend’s Kroger 250 at Martinsville could not come soon enough to erase the memories of a mechanical failure that dropped the No. 81 Toyota Tundra to a 31st place finish.

The #1 entry for the Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway will be piloted by Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville Georgia. Advanced Electronic Services will be coming on board as the primary sponsor for the #1 Chevrolet. This will be the first time Jonathan will attempt a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.
