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.

Both Blaneys raced against one another last season in the historic truck race at Eldora Speedway.  Continue reading →
