Camping World Truck Series

Kyle Busch took the checkered flag in a wild night of racing at the Kansas Speedway in the NASCAR Truck Series SPF 250. 

Busch had a comfortable margin of victory, and was followed by second-place Matt Crafton and third-place Joey Logano. 

Although he would've preferred the win, it was a productive night for Crafton—he claimed the points lead. Meanwhile, Busch's crew chief Eric Phillips grabbed a bit of history with the win, which KyleBuschMotorsports tweeted:

This was the first time this race has been run under the lights. NASCAR caught the moment: 

Busch started on the pole and crossed the finish line first. In between, it was nothing short of chaos.

It was just the first time around the track of this 167-lap race when the evening found its first wreck and caution. 

This was a sloppy race with lots of wrecks and mistakes all over the place. USA Today's Nate Ryan touches on an obvious source for all of this: 

This was the first time the trucks were in action since Martinsville on March 29. It certainly showed. Frontstretch.com's Summer Bedgood passed along a thought from the German Quiroga Jr. team that sums up the craziness of this night:  

Quiroga finished in seventh and was one of just 11 to finish the race on the lead lap. 

Despite the craziness of this race, these guys had clean racing for the closing stretch, which worked out well for Busch. He seized the lead after racing Crafton hard on the final restart, and no one could catch him. 

As NASCAR Trucks tweets, Busch's accomplishments in the series are mounting: 

The win will help erase some demons for Busch at a track that has given him fits over the course of his career. As weekly contributor to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Lee Spencer tweets, Busch wasn't sure how to find victory lane: 

As for Crafton taking the points lead, it was a rough night for Timothy Peters and Johnny Sauter, who entered this race tied for the series lead in points. 

Peters had to go behind the wall to get some work done. He was able to finish the race, but was way off the pace.

Meanwhile, Sauter was caught in a wreck and couldn't finish the race. This allowed Crafton, the defending series champion, to open up an eight-point lead on both Sauter and Peters. 

It felt like it would be a matter of time until Crafton took the series lead, anyway, and he is in a prime position to extend his lead. The schedule is heating up now for these guys; this was the first of three races this month.  

The next series stop comes on May 16 with the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

During the Camping World Truck Series race at Rockingham, seasoned lion Ron Hornaday Jr. went toe-to-toe with young upstart Darrell Wallace Jr. By toe-to-toe, I mean he hooked his bumper and sent him snout-first into the turn three wall. A little bit of deja vu, no? 

In Hornaday's post-race interview, he stated that he felt like an idiot, while also pointing out that he does not have a reputation for intentionally wrecking other drivers. He took a humble tone in his stance, as he later called Wallace and his crew chief Rick Ren to discuss the issue. 

When looking at the replay of the incident, it just doesn't look like anything deliberate, unlike the Jeff Burton/Jeff Gordon incident at Texas in 2010 or the Kyle Busch/Hornaday incident at the same racetrack a year later. It seemed more like the contact was of the awkward variety. What was supposed to be a nudge turned into a slam. Thanks to all that, Hornaday now faces possible suspension.

What I don't understand is the outcry that Hornaday should be suspended. Why? Granted, the outcome of the tiff left Hornaday with egg on his face, but the circumstances at Rockingham were far from the circumstances of the incident between Busch and Hornaday at Texas in 2011. Slower speeds were a factor, and keep in mind that no crippling contact was made between the two.

Now, am I upset that Wallace was wrecked? Absolutely. I'm high on the kid. He's got that competitive fire in him  that is rarely seen in other drivers his age. His talent is on par with fellow Drive for Diversity name Kyle Larson. When angry, he isn't afraid to step up to the plate. Just ask Brett Moffitt. 

But I admire and absolutely respect Hornaday, who is as old-school as they come. He's the greatest driver in the history of the truck series, bar none. I've enjoyed watching him race since I became a NASCAR fan. But even the greatest drivers can have a slip-up, which is what this amounts to be.

After the incident, Wallace warned Hornaday about their upcoming bout at Kansas. Now things may have smoothed out a little, but if Wallace follows through with any threats at all, I would be for a suspension in his case, because Kansas is bigger and faster than The Rock. 

Ultimately, I doubt anything will happen. It was a heated moment for both drivers. It isn't the first time that has happened, and entertainingly enough, it won't be the last. So NASCAR shouldn't even bother tossing the word "suspension" around in this case. Just let bygones be bygones, and get back to racing. 

On a side note, what about Wallace having the cajones to confront Hornaday of all people? The kid has guts!

The 13th annual NextEra Energy Resources 250 gives the Camping World Truck Series some love at Daytona this week. 

The trucks will kick things off in a 100-lap 250-mile race that is sure to get every last fan satiated until the Daytona 500 later in the weekend. 

There is no better way to get a weekend of motorsports started than this race that continues to get better with every season. Let's take a deeper look at the specifics. 

Where: Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla

When: Friday, February 24th, 7:30 p.m. EDT 

Watch: Speed

Live Stream: NASCAR Track Pass

Listen: Motor Racing Network

Pre-Race Activities

Like every year, there is always something to do at Daytona right now. Friday is filled with events to keep you entertained until the trucks run. 

4:05 p.m. ET: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NextEra Energy Resources 250 Qualifying (Two laps, all positions) 

4:15 p.m. ET: Driver Appearance: David Ragan at the Ford display in the Midway

7:00 p.m. ET: NextEra Energy Resources 250 Driver Introductions

Driver to Watch: Mike Skinner 

Unfortunately we do not get to see last year's winner Michael Waltrip trying to defend his title. He will be in the booth for Speed Channel, but other drivers will have to pique our interest.

I will have my eyes on Mike Skinner who will finally get back on the Camping World Truck track after a year away. I am interested to see what he has for us on Friday and if it will all come flooding back.  

2011 FINISH 

Defending champion: Michael Waltrip 

Runner up: Elliott Sadler

Pole winner: Austin Dillon (179.047 m.p.h.) 

Prediction: 

You would think drivers would stay clear of winning this race as no driver has ever gone onto win the NextEra and then the Championship. The field is wide open but I have a good feeling about Mike Skinner's return or Travis Kvapil who will be running with RAB racing.

Kyle Busch headed off on vacation but knew he had to find somebody who’d be able to drive the truck and get a good finish.

Busch turned to fellow Sprint Cup driver Kasey Kahne, who had won two races and finished second in his first three Camping World Truck Series starts.

“I just want to go racing,” Kahne said in the pre-race show when asked why he was running it.

Kahne qualified the truck second and ran up front most of the race. He took the lead for the final time with 70 laps to go and never looked back as he led the race until the end for his third truck win.

"I mean, I came into this weekend wanting to win as that was the plan,” he said in victory lane. “This is a tough series to win in and on the restart with Todd, he drove me all the way up to the wall and I think he got himself loose there.

"I want to thank Kyle Busch for letting me drive this truck and all of Kyle Busch Motorsports for working so hard on this truck. Eric Phillips was great to work with.

“I will buy them vacationing time to drive this truck, again."

On the final restart, it looked as if Todd Bodine would finish second; however, he got loose when trying to pass Kahne and ended up falling back to third behind Ron Hornaday.

"I owe everything to Jeff Hensley and this entire team working so hard on this truck,” Hornaday said. “I got into the wall in practice, causing them to work harder and then got into somebody on pit road.

"Your brother (Elliott Sadler) spun his tires and I got into the back of him. Kahne was pretty tough; we got to figure out what he does."

"Kasey was going to be tough and we both spun the heck out of tires,” Bodine said. “I drove into one and about wrecked. These trucks are so aero-dependent as I don't know how I didn't wreck with that truck on my tail.

"Ron did what any veteran would do and legged back there. I am loving the Truck Series. We didn't want third, second would've been better, but we're back.

Matt Crafton finished fourth to take over the points lead, six points over Cole Whitt in the standings.

"We had a problem on pit road and to come from shotgun where we were with 46 to go to here is pretty good,” Crafton said.

James Buescher rounded out the top five, while Timothy Peters, Elliott Sadler, Cole Whitt, Johnny Sauter and David Starr finished out the top 10.

As a whole, the race saw a record number of 10 cautions, as multiple trucks found trouble while trying to figure out the track.

On lap 74, Nelson Piquet Jr. got into the wall with a flat tire. Behind him, Joey Coulter and Jason White looked to try to slow down to miss him, but both got hit from behind and then made heavy contact with each other.

"Just somebody spun out in front of us and with the sun going over the wall, it got hard to see, and I just got run into from behind,” Coulter said. “I'm sure it was nobody's fault, just a blind spot on the track. It was just starting to get fun, as I was just starting to learn this place."

Later on lap 97, Ricky Carmichael wrecked as Nelson Piquet Jr. and Johanna Long wrecked behind him. Carmichael wrecked first and then behind him, Piquet and Long made contact, which cut both their tires.

Piquet went up into the outside wall while Long plowed into Carmichael as she couldn't steer the truck around him. There was a seven-minute red flag to clean up the wreck.

Carmichael said it probably started either him getting loose or somebody making contact with him.

"Yeah, I'm all right,” Carmichael said. “We were fast in race trim all day long. Coming from behind, we qualified horrible; you put yourself in a hole and we never got caught up from there.

"Finally, I think I know what I am doing, and having to come from behind makes it tough."

"We had a really good truck, and we finally got our lap back,” Long said. “Our team worked hard on the truck and hopefully we can get the truck fixed for Nashville, as sponsorship is low.....I think another truck hit the wall and I think I hit him as he came down a little bit."

The next Camping World Truck Series race is in three weeks at Martinsville Speedway.

Open-wheel stars such as Tony Stewart, Sam Hornish Jr., A.J. Allmendinger and Juan Pablo Montoya are competing on a full-time basis in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series, even though the future for Hornish in the top-tier series is still pending.

In the past we have seen open-wheel drivers such as Patrick Carpentier, Jacques Villeneuve, Dario Franchitti and Scott Speed—who just lost his ride with Red Bull Racing—just to name a few, test their driving skills against NASCAR’s biggest stars.

The open-wheel invasion continues into the 2011 season with the signing of Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr., who will be driving in the NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series for Kevin Harvick Inc.

Piquet, who is a 25-year-old native of Brazil, will compete full-time in hopes of bringing KHI another championship along with the year-end Rookie of the Year award.

"I am very excited to join KHI and to drive in the Truck Series. I look forward to combining what I have learned this year from running five races in the series with the professionalism and experience of the KHI organization,” said Piquet, who will switch from the Toyota he ran last year to a Chevy Silverado.

Piquet also added, “I want to thank Kevin, DeLana and everyone at KHI for this opportunity. I am looking forward to our partnership and I can't wait to get out on the track in a KHI Chevrolet Silverado and start winning races."

"This is a very unique opportunity to have a driver like Nelson be a part of KHI," said co-owner Kevin Harvick during this morning’s press conference.

Piquet made his truck series debut at the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 Truck Series race, when he started 22nd and finished sixth ahead of such stars as Kyle Busch and the 2010 series champion Ron Hornaday Jr.

Piquet ran an additional four races in the trucks, along with running one Nationwide race as a road ringer at Watkins Glen, where he finished seventh.

Harvick was impressed with Piquet's progress when he stated, "In five starts in the Truck Series this season he not only gained valuable seat time but proved himself by getting some solid finishes.”

Harvick added, “We are excited to have Nelson as a part of our Truck Series program as he takes another step forward in his career."

Todd Bodine won the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway, then called out Kyle Busch in Victory Lane. Kyle, being Kyle, confronted Todd while he was still celebrating in the Winner's Circle. While this may make for compelling TV, it is at least bad form and at worst downright rude.

Bodine began his victory speech by "thanking" Kyle for spinning him out early in the race, which gave Bodine the opportunity to pit for the fuel he would need to win. Todd Bodine continued to criticize Busch, declaring the move "dirty driving". A look at the video replay showed very little evidence that Busch deliberately spun out Bodine, and he didn't dump him as he did Brad Keselowski in the Nationwide Series race at Bristol.

There is blame to pass around on both sides, first to Todd Bodine for behaving ungraciously as the winner. However, I firmly believe that the race winner should have Victory Lane, and the microphone, to himself to express his feelings on winning a NASCAR Race. Any confrontation, argument, or fistfight should be put off until the winner has done the "hat dance" and celebrated with his crew.

This is not the first time Kyle Busch has behaved badly in Victory Lane, but on the other occasions, he was the race winner, and thus had the right to say or do anything he wanted to. When he won the first race with the Car of Tomorrow at Bristol, he took the time to lambaste NASCAR for designing a race car that he called "junk" and "terrible". After he won the truck race at Nashville, he proceeded to smash the signature Gibson guitar trophy to bits, like some rock star from the seventies. Even last month at Bristol, after he won the Nationwide Series race, he admitted to wrecking Brad Keselowski on purpose.

I would hope that drivers would show some respect to the race winner and let him have his moment of glory without disruption. As for Todd Bodine and Kyle Busch, I am sure that the incident will blow over, if it hasn't already. After all, Speed TV reported that Kyle and Todd would be leaving Kentucky and flying to Atlanta on the same airplane.

Like the Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series schedules, the Camping World Truck Series schedule is getting flipped around.

Daytona International Speedway, as with the other two schedules, will open the season.

Phoenix International Raceway, who traditionally held a date in November, will move up to the second date on the schedule, replacing Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Atlanta will then move to slot 16, replacing Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol then moves up a slot on the schedule, replacing Darlington Raceway.

Darlington will then move to slot three, replacing Martinsville Speedway, which will go down to slot four, replacing Nashville Superspeedway. Nashville will follow the pattern, getting bumped down to slot five, replacing Kansas Speedway.

Kansas then moves down to slot eight, bumping Texas Motor Speedway down to slot nine, replacing Michigan International Speedway.

Michigan then moves down to slot 14, replacing Nashville.

Nashville then moves to slot 11, replacing Gateway, who will no longer host a NASCAR-santioned race.

In the midst of all those changes, some races will still hold the same schedule slot. Those races are Dover International Speedway in slot six, Charlotte Motor Speedway in slot seven, Iowa Speedway in slot 10, O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis in slot 12, and Pocono Raceway in slot 13. Chicagoland Speedway will also continue to hold slot 17.

After Chicago, New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Kentucky Speedway will swap races with New Hampshire in slot 18 and Kentucky in slot 19.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway will stay in slot 20, while Talladega Superspeedway (now race No. 21) will swap with Martinsville (now race No. 22).

Closing out the schedule will be Texas and Homestead-Miami Speedway to come to a total of 24 races.

A 25th race may be announced at a later date to keep with the traditional schedule length.

The Camping World Truck Series has always been an exciting series to watch. With the new schedule, NASCAR hopes to keep that and hit their markets at good times.

TJ Bell will not only return to the track in the Camping World Truck Series with MAKE Motorsports and a brand new sponsor, Liberty Tire Recycling, but he has every intention of turning that infamous Darlington stripe "green" this weekend.

Bell will be running on the “track too tough to tame” with one of NASCAR’s first ever “green” sponsors in the Truck Series.

Liberty Tire Recycling, gracing the hood of the MAKE Motorsports No. 50 Chevy Silverado, is the nation’s largest tire recycling provider.

“MAKE Motorsports is a positive, boots on the ground, grassroots team and Liberty Tire Recycling is about spreading the message of recycling and claiming in a positive, viral way,” Thomas Womble, Vice President of Liberty Tire Recycling said. “Our company donated over 500,000 pounds of recycled rubber to build athletic fields in Iraq.

"We hope to bring that grassroots effort to NASCAR, and we hope to help the overall outside view of the sport merge into one that actually can be green."

"We're a team that is built on family, our word, and our sustainability in the sport of stock car racing," Tracy Lowe, MAKE Motorsports co-owner and one of the only female team owners in NASCAR, said. "As a mom, I like to do whatever I can to help give my children a better planet someday.

"Teaming with Liberty Tire Recycling is perfect—spreading that message of sustainability through our daily working lives in NASCAR.  Who would have thought? I can't wait to see what the true impact will be in the sport."

Mark Beaver, MAKE Motorsports team co-owner, also praises Liberty Tire Racing.

"The guys at Liberty Tire Recycling have grown with quiet strength and domination," Beaver said, "moving from a family company of a few, to now transforming 110 million tires a year into recycled raw materials that change our lives in a sustainable way.

“It's rare that you step on an outdoor rubber surface, mat or other rubber material, without it being from Liberty.  I'm excited to see that GREEN Chevy Silverado get on the track, to help them gain more exposure for that great GREEN message."

While the team owners and new sponsor are ready to race at Darlington, there is no one more excited to get back behind the wheel of a race truck than driver TJ Bell.

“We’re going to Darlington and see if we can tame that girl,” Bell said. “We got Liberty Tire Center on board and it’s pretty unbelievable what they do with tires.”

Bell shared that he visited his sponsor’s plant in Concord, North Carolina, and was amazed to see what the company did with old tires from the land fill and also race tires, using them for coal and other fuel.

“It burns the same way as coal and we’re getting rid of all these tires instead of burying them,” Bell said. “They’re really recycling a bunch of stuff and making it better for everybody.

“It’s a win, win for everybody—the sport, MAKES Motorsports and the biggest gain is for the environment.”

Bell said that the sponsorship with Liberty Tire Recycling was a one race deal, at least for now. He said it was especially important for the company to be at Darlington as that was a major market for them.

“We’re hopefully going to wow them,” Bell said. “We want to keep the truck in one piece and see the checkered flag. And hopefully, if that all works out and everything’s good, they’ll sign on for some more.”

While Bell is looking forward to the upcoming race, he admits that this will be his inaugural run at the “Lady in Black.”

“I haven’t raced there,” Bell said. “I’m going to spend a lot of time on my simulator. There’s been a lot of places that I don’t know why or what, but the first time I walk in, I think that looks fun. Darlington looks like a place that is a lot of fun.

“I’m pretty excited about it to be honest. I know a lot of people are scared of the ‘Darlington stripe’ but I love running right up against the fence. A lot of best finishes have been at race tracks where you run really hard and a lot of people are afraid of them.

“I think that’s the greatest challenge but the best part about it. I just really look forward to getting back to racing. I’m going to go into it with the mindset that I’m going to have a good time because normally when I have the best time, usually a lot of good things come of it.”

Bell will make his "green" debut in the No. 50 Liberty Tire Recycling MAKE Motorsports Chevy race truck at the Darlington Raceway in the Too Tough to Tame 200.

The race will run under the lights on Saturday, August 14 at 7:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on SPEED.

It was announced earlier this week as the Associated Press (AP) learned that at least two star drivers this season have been fined, as much as $50,000, for making critical comments against the sport. NASCAR will not allow the drivers to be publicly identified, but sources told AP that the comments were considered disparaging to the sport.

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston confirmed this, but would not discuss details. His explanation why appeared in an article on NASCAR.com.

"It is the sanctioning body's obligation on behalf of the industry and our fans to protect the sport's brand," Poston said. "Any action taken by NASCAR has nothing to do with the drivers expressing an opinion—it's focused on actions or comments that materially damage the sport."

"We have specifically discussed this in meetings with teams, drivers and stakeholders."
These actions by NASCAR have been likened to practices of other professional sports leagues, such as the NFL and NBA.

Though is this the right thing to do?

Criticism is something that should be welcomed. It’s always said that people should be able to take negativity in order to be able to improve in the future. With NASCAR putting this in force, are they going against this rule?

Also, it was criticism that was brought against the sport that brought forth some of the rule changes.

Racing back to the caution was taken away as a result of criticism after a race at New Hampshire with regard to how Dale Jarrett’s car was sitting on the track.

Double-file restarts were brought forth this year as a result of criticism towards the lack of good, hard racing on restarts.

The Car of Tomorrow was brought forth as a result of criticism towards the safety of the cars.

These are three big things that wouldn’t had happened if it wasn’t for criticism against the sport.

Also on NASCAR.com in their community section, Poston wrote a blog post with regards to what was going on titled: “Working Together For The Good of the Sport”.

One of the comments he makes in his blog post is, “No business owner would permit employees, vendors or partners to damage their business—nor can we.  It is the sanctioning body’s obligation on behalf of the entire industry to protect the brand, just like every other major sport.”

That is true in most cases; however, wouldn’t a company want to know why they were doing badly and how they could improve? If I was the manager of a company, I’d be welcome to comments so I could improve my business.

Therefore, with respect to NASCAR, they need the comments from the drivers so that they can better stay at the top of their game.

Though what I find even bigger than just the “criticism needed” aspect that I’ve touched, is, by limiting what people can say, aren’t you taking away their right to freedom of speech?

Freedom of speech is something that we’ve worked on building and in this simple step, it’s slowly being taken away.

So if you bring out the scale and weigh the options, what’s better to have breached? Have a couple of bad comments or be known for breaking freedom of speech? I’d think theat by violating freedom of speech, you’re apt to make more people mad.

I do understand that the argument is that comments can be hurtful, but they may only last in the media for a week or two. Also, as stated earlier, they can also be helpful.

Though breaking a right to every human being and letting that be shown, in my opinion... I think that’d do more damage.
