After a thrilling Camping World Truck Series finish at Daytona, teams are taking a break until their next race the Kroeger 250 at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday, March 29th. Fox Sports 1 begins their coverage at 1 pm ET with the green flag waving around 1:30 pm ET. Race coverage is also available on MRN, Sirius XM Radio, channel 90 for all 131.5 laps covering 250 miles.

Here are a few noteworthy headlines from the series’ season-opener NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway.

Kyle Busch Continues his Reign on the Camping World Truck Series Parade

Kyle Busch didn’t win the Daytona 500, but he did make history at the World Center of Racing. Busch celebrated his historic win after taking the checkered flag by .016 seconds over Timothy Peters last Friday.

The Las Vegas native became the first driver to complete the career national series sweep at Daytona, adding to his wins in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series at the track. His win was also Toyota’s eighth consecutive win at Daytona.

Busch’s win was his 36th in the series, and he has now won at least one race in nine of the past ten seasons he has competed. His lone year without a win was in 2012 when he only made three starts.

Kyle Busch Motorsports is also the reigning owner champion, and the team will attempt to defend its title this season with Busch and Erik Jones sharing driving duties. KBM won the owner crown after tying ThorSport Racing last year and winning on a tie-breaker.

Jones, set a record as the youngest winner in the history of the series with his win at Phoenix last November – 17 years, five months, and nine days. He will drive the truck in the next race at Martinsville Speedway.

Busch’s next race is at Charlotte Motor Speedway during Sprint All-Star Weekend on Friday, May 16.

The Rookies ‘Mix it Up’ at Daytona

Considering it was their first start ever in the Camping World Truck Series at Daytona, all-in-all, the results were mixed for several of the Rookie of the Year contenders.

After rain washed out qualifying, Ben Kennedy started from the pole and led a race-high 52 laps early in the race. Kennedy, the great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr, made his first start at the high-banked track. Kennedy dodged a 16-truck accident on lap 75 and rebounded to score a respectable 15th-place finish.

Tyler Reddick also made his first start, driving a Brad Keselowski Racing car. His début was a memorable one, as he rebounded from some pit road issues to win rookie of the race honors with his 12th-place finish.

Mason Mingus was the third rookie contender, finishing 28th after he was involved in the lap 75 accident, sending his truck into the turn two wall – ending his night early.

Last but not least, Tyler Young finished the race 34th, after being caught in the multi-truck accident on lap 73.

Jeb Burton Dodges his Way to Finish 7th at Daytona

Jeb Burton, with a great assist from spotter Kevin Hamlin, Friday night dodged “the big one” midway through the season-opening Camping World Truck Series’ event at Daytona, With an astute seventh-place finish in his Truck Series début for ThorSport Racing in the No. 13 truck, Burton was ready to pronounce his career back on track.

“This was a good way to start the season, I feel like,” Burton said. “I’ve just got to thank all my guys, and Mr. and Mrs. (Duke and Rhonda) Thorson (team owners) for putting me in this Tundra. We’ll take this top-seven and go to Martinsville.”

The Truck Series’ second round, in five weeks at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway is Burton’s home race. But just three weeks ago even starting this season was in question after his team’s sponsor at Turner Scott Motorsports abandoned the team, forcing the owners to shut it down.

But ThorSport put together a deal to sign Burton for the 2014 season and mere days before the trucks were ready to leave the team’s shop in Sandusky, Ohio, signed a sponsorship with the VAMP e-cigarette brand of VaporBrands International, Inc.

Burton had a daily watch to look out for his new driving gear’s delivery, but his No. 13 Tundra’s competitiveness was never in question.

Throughout most of the 100-lap race passing was difficult. Burton started 11th after rain cancelled the Truck Series’ inaugural elimination-style group qualifying. But when the last green flag flew for an 11-lap run to the finish with Burton in 15th, he was able to make things happen to get to seventh at the checkers.

“At the end I got a pretty big push and got some side draft and we were coming,” said Burton, who with just three laps to go was running 12th, one spot behind teammate Matt Crafton, the 2013 series champion. “I wish we would’ve been at Talladega where the finish line would’ve been a little farther down the track, but I don’t know if we would’ve made it or not…

“But I’m happy to get out of here with a top-seven (Friday) night, that’s for sure.”

Burton was working with three-time Truck Series champion crew chief Dennis Connor for the first time and Connor, who won those championships at Hendrick Motorsports with Jack Sprague, was well-pleased with Burton’s first run out of the gate.

“For the first time out of the box we had a hot and cold night, but at the same time it was an acceptable job considering it was our first time out as a team,” Connor said of the deal that was signed on Feb. 6. “With the package NASCAR has got right here, nobody can pass anybody and we kind of had a lucky break getting through the big wreck — but really that was an amazing job by the driver and spotter.”

That 16-truck wreck occurred three-quarters of the way through the night, after a race delay of more than an hour by intermittent rain. Burton was running in the middle of the field when two trucks just inside the top-ten tangled on lap 75, creating a swirling, smoky jam-up of vehicles that Burton did a veteran’s job of avoiding in just his 28th career Truck Series start.

But after using cautions to get back into the top-15, his adventure wasn’t over.

“We had trouble with a gas can hanging-up on the last (pit) stop and if it hadn’t been for that I think we could’ve finished right up front,’ Connor said. “But considering this deal didn’t exist three weeks ago, it was pretty amazing, really, to wind up seventh.”

On his last pit stop, the gas can hung up in the filler neck, costing him time in the service alley and delaying his pit road exit. Burton’s charge forward in the last few laps left him wondering “what if…”

“I wish the thing with the gas can hadn’t happened, but that sometimes happens in racing,” said Burton, who with 40 laps to go had fallen back to 26th. “We’ll go on to Martinsville and get back after it, there.”

The run to the finish did have Burton shaking his head when asked to describe what the externally wooly scene looked like from his seat.

“I really didn’t think that last run would’ve been green until the finish — that’s why I didn’t go to the high side sooner,” Burton said of his cautious, but dogged move toward the front. “I was thinking they were gonna wreck because it sure looked like it.

“If I had it to do over again I might have gone a little sooner, but we still got out of here in one piece with some good momentum.”

Because race winner Kyle Busch and fourth place Ryan Truex aren’t registered to earn Truck Series points, Burton will go to Martinsville in five weeks fifth in the championship, six points behind race runner-up Timothy Peters.
