Bayley Currey on Racing at Darlington: “Darlington is a fun but tough track,” said Currey. “I think the Truck Series will put on quite a show here.

The 2000 Gander Trucks Champion will make his season debut at Darlington Raceway on Sunday. Greg Biffle earned a pair of Southern 500 trophies in 2005 and 2006 at Darlington as well as a Xfinity Series victory at the track in 2004.

Coming off a heart-breaking finish at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., last weekend, Todd Gilliland has his sights set on the "Track Too Tough to Tame," Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. Last Sunday Gilliland had a dominate Front Row Motorsports Ford F-150, winning the first two stages and leading the most laps.

Sheldon Creed lined up 17th for Sunday's event. Creed reported the truck was good during the long green flag run that opened the race, but was tough in dirty air back in the field.

The biggest issue for us all day was that we just fired off really tight, to start with. I had a really bad chatter in the front end early in the race and then for whatever reason, we started having some brake issues.

Natalie Decker on Racing at Gateway: “I’m thankful for Niece Motorsports and N29 Capital Partners for another opportunity to go racing,” said Decker.
