Truck Series

Rocktape, the world's strongest brand of kinesiology tape will be used by Turner Motorsports pit crew to help prevent injuries, promote recovery and provide muscle support. Worn by athletes all over the world, Rocktape will help Turner Motorsports drivers and pit crew team keep up with the intense physical demands of being on the racetrack.

Although Friday's Kentucky 201 will be just the second race for Max Gresham at Eddie Sharp Racing (ESR), the newly-formed relationship is hardly taking baby steps in the final three months of the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) season.

The Turner Motorsports No. 30 team will be using chassis TMS-218 for Friday night's Kentucky 201 at Kentucky Speedway. TMS-218 is a powerhouse for the Turner Motorsports team after claiming a Keystone Light pole award at Pocono Raceway and Piquet Jr.'s first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) win at Michigan International Speedway.

Miguel Paludo heads to Kentucky Speedway for the second of the season's two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) events at the 1.5-mile tri-oval. Paludo has participated in four previous events at the Sparta, Kentucky facility, tying it with Texas Motor Speedway as the track where he has made the most starts.

Season of Improvements: Timothy Peters and the No. 17 Red Horse Racing team travel to Kentucky Speedway this weekend for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Kentucky 201. This Friday's main event marks the second trip to the 1.5-mile track this season, with the first visit in June producing a fifth place finish.

Propelled by Previous Success: Following up his first top-three finish in nine races, Two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion Todd Bodine heads to Kentucky Speedway ready to follow the wave of momentum. A previous winner in both the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) and Nationwide Series at the 1.5-mile oval, Bodine looks to rely on past experience and those victories to work his way into victory lane.

Kentucky Character: Following an impressive performance last Saturday night, Parker Kligerman travels to Kentucky Speedway this Friday with his No. 7 Red Horse Racing team to challenge for the win in the Kentucky 201. Kligerman carries the momentum of three top-five finishes in the past four races, along with confidence in his intermediate track record to contend with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competitors. An affinity for the challenges the Sparta, Kentucky-based 1.5- mile oval provides may also help carry Kligerman to a solid finish.

Cale Gale and the No. 33 Rheem team tied their season-best finish, fifth, in the American Ethanol 200 presented by Hy-Vee this Saturday at Iowa Speedway. With a quick truck all weekend, Gale practiced sixth in both practice sessions and qualified sixth for the 200-lap event.

Race Recap: The number 33 will always be a number near and dear to Ron Hornaday's heart as he took the number to victory lane many times with Kevin Harvick, Inc. in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) before teaming up with Joe Denette Motorsports (JDM) in 2012. However, it's safe to say Hornaday didn't want to see his name beside that number on the final finishing order for Saturday night's American Ethanol 200 presented by Hy-Vee at Iowa Speedway.

Justin Lofton and the No. 6 Lofton Cattle team's night came to an early end in the American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway when the No. 6 Chevrolet suffered terminal damage in a lap 95 accident. After leading laps and racing inside the top 10 throughout most of the night, Lofton's championship battle took a hit as a result of a 31st-place finish.
