I started to think about this post a few weeks ago. At the time, Germain Racing, for the second season in a row, was threatening to shut down Todd Bodine’s #30 team for a lack of sponsorship. It was stunning to think the reigning series championship was about to be parked for a lack of [...]

4 Comments »New Faces Making Truck Series Interesting
July 15th, 2010 T.C. Over the last several seasons, the Camping World Truck Series has been dominated by the old guard. Names like Ron Hornaday, Johnny Benson, Todd Bodine, Ted Musgrave, and Bobby Hamilton have been inscribed on the championship trophy at years end. This season however, the landscape of the Truck Series may be changing. I want to [...]
Ask The Insiders Wednesday #73
May 4th, 2010 T.C. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for this weekend! Both the Nationwide Series and Cup Series are headed to Darlington, and if you are like me, you can’t get enough of the “Track Too Tough To Tame.” Don’t worry though, this week’s round of reader questions shouldn’t be too tough to tame.

Kyle Busch, Team Owner in 2010?
July 29th, 2009 T.C. In a recent piece on SceneDaily.com, Kyle Busch discussed his interest in being a team owner in one of NASCAR’s top series “down the road.” From what we are hearing, “down the road” might mean 2010. There have been rumors in the past about Kyle Busch either buying out current Truck Series owner Billy Ballew [...]
Hard Times for NCWTS Sponsorships
June 11th, 2009 Journo Sponsorship, or lack thereof has been on the mind of just about every team executive in NASCAR this season. While the year has been rough for the sponsorship market as a whole, in no place has it hit harder then in the Truck Series. The biggest anomaly in the series are the amount of experienced, [...]

Following Homestead on Sunday, many crew members didn’t survive the now infamous “Black Monday.” Hall of Fame, Stewart-Haas, DEI, Wood Brothers, Yates, and Bill Davis were some of the [...]

With six wins this season the three time [...]
