| NOTES: |
|
The Camping World Truck Series returns to Kentucky Speedway for the
inaugural running of the Kentucky 225. This will be the first time in Series
history that Kentucky will have a second race during the calendar year. Since
2000, Trucks have raced in Sparta just once a year, with only one multiple
winner, Ron Hornaday Jr.
Back in July, Kyle Busch started from the back of the field and reclaimed the
lead with 19 laps remaining to capture his 29th career Truck Series title. Pole
sitter Johnny Sauter led twice for 24 laps, but failed to finish due to a
broken rear axle during his final scheduled pit stop, which took him out of the
race.
Fortunately for the top drivers, Busch, who won last week in New Hampshire,
will not be on hand, as he battles in the Race for the Chase Sprint Cup in
Dover.
Currently, Austin Dillon holds a precarious two-point advantage over James
Buescher and is just seven points clear of Johnny Sauter with six races
remaining. Not only will Dillon battle his nearest competitors, he will have to
tangle with his brother. Ty Dillon, who currently leads the ARCA Racing
championship standings, is set to make his NASCAR national series debut in the
No. 21 Bad Boy Buggies/Realtree Chevrolet for Kevin Harvick Inc.
The next Camping World Truck Series race is the October 15th running of the
Smith's 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Austin Dillon is the defending race
winner.
