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 →

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 →
