EldoraGet The Dirt On Eldora

From asphalt to dirt, the Camping World Truck Series transitions to the high-banked clay oval of Eldora Speedway on July 23 for the second consecutive season. The only dirt track on the schedule, Eldora will challenge even the most seasoned of veterans as it remains unique to the truck series among national series schedules.

Eldora is the only race to award the winner a golden shovel that helps to carry on the “ceremonial digging” tradition instituted at the inaugural event, when the race winner scoops dirt from the track as a keepsake. FOX Sports 1 offers coverage of practice, qualifying and the qualifying races throughout the day, with the green flag start scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Continue reading →

Ryan Blaney Ready for Double-Duty at Kansas

Life is about to get a lot busier for the Camping World Truck Series drivers after enjoying their break. And few will be as busy as Ryan Blaney.

After racing only twice so far this season, the 2014 schedule will get hectic over the next couple of weeks. For the first time this season, the series is in action in back-to-back weekends with the SFP 250 this Friday night at Kansas Speedway and next weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

FF-CWTS-KSFor Blaney, It will be a full weekend in Kansas as the 20-year-old driver is racing in both Friday night’s SFP 250 and Saturday night’s 5-hour Energy 400. It is the Sprint Cup Series début for Blaney, driving the No. 12 Ford for Team Penske on Saturday.

The race could also give Blaney a chance to compete against his father Dave, which would make them the first father-son duo to compete in the same Sprint Cup Series event since Bobby Hamilton Sr and Jr raced at Atlanta on October 30, 2005. Both Blaneys raced against one another last season in the historic truck race at Eldora Speedway.  Continue reading →

With six different Sprint Cup Series winners in the first six races for the season, the question now is, will there be a seventh different winner at Texas Motor Speedway?

Kurt Busch set a Chase for the Sprint Cup era record the moment he hit the finish line to close last Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway – six different winners in the first six races of the season. More amazing is that Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson – the top two winners in the 2013 season – are not among that group.  Neither are marquee winners Kasey Kahne or Greg Biffle or Jeff Gordon or Denny Hamlin.
