Picking up his second series win, Ty Dillon did exactly what he did to get his first win, by passing Kyle Busch for the lead in the closing laps of the race.

By the end of the race, Dillon crossed the finished line 5.736 seconds ahead of Brad Keselowski, winning Thursday night’s UNOH 225 at Kentucky Speedway. Kyle Busch finished third, followed by 2012 series champion James Buescher and Ryan Blaney. Continue reading

It may have taken awhile, but Kyle Busch is back on top of the Camping World Truck Series. He has been absent from victory lane since New Hampshire in 2011 and this win broke his seven race losing streak in the series. Busch started out running well, but then a pit road mistake left him at the back of the field during the latter part of the event. He battled back to the front after a few wild restarts and was able to secure the victory. This race had action from the drop of the green-flag and it proves why the Camping World Truck races are usually the best events of the weekend. Continue reading

One of the longest Truck Series races in a while ended with a great battle for the win. Matt Crafton held off Joey Coulter in the last laps for his third career Truck win. Crafton’s truck came alive towards the end of the race as he drove to get to the front and stay there. He did just that and it resulted in victory. Like predicted, the race was pure craziness with a lot of carnage. This was the first race for the trucks on Kansas’ new surface and the lack of experience on the surface was showing throughout the race today. Continue reading

A fast, new and wide surface at the Kansas Speedway will be put to the test as the Camping World Truck Series take to the reconfigured track for the first time, this weekend.

Last October in the Sprint Cup event, we saw action-packed racing during their first time on the reconfigured surface and this Saturday afternoon will be the trucks turn to take to the mile-and-a-half track. The teams’ notebooks will essentially be thrown out the window while they prepare for the race since this surface is a whole new animal. Continue reading
