Kroger 250- NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

by Backmarker Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:19 pm

The Truck Series returns for the second race of the season at Martinsville. The highly anticipated Chase Elliott and Snowball Derby winner Erik Jones both make their debuts this weekend. Kevin Harvick is the only full-time Cup driver on the entry list, and dominated this race last year.

Entry List

Trucks have an Australian driver for first time since 2006 (I think) in the form of Kenny Habul, but since he's in a RSS Truck that isn't the 39 he'd be parking.

Awesome Chase from Dawsonville. Nope doesn't have the same ring.

A few notes about the entry list
- I'm surprised Tim George is on the entry list but hopefully this means he's in the car all year
- Nelson Piquet, Jr. is in the #30.
- I would say it's highly questionable whether the Eddie Sharp Racing (no driver, no sponsor, John King and/or Justin Lofton may be possibilities) and the ThorSport #13 (Todd Bodine, unsponsored) will race.
- Who is Erik Jones? (not a rhetorical question).

Lots of new faces on the entry list should make for an interesting race.

implying it wont be harvickwinslol

by RealRacer4 Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:51 pm

I'd be ten times more excited for this race if Kevin Harvick wasn't on the entry list. Btw, who the hell is Grant Galloway? I actually know a little bit about Devin Jones...it's that he has a boat load of money.

According to his website he's a dirt racer from Indiana. The site doesn't look like it's been updated since 2010, though, so I can't find much other than that.

I wonder who Caleb Holman is? And also, I'm pretty sure I've heard of the name Kenny Habul in NASCAR before have I?

by Jason Hamilton Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:07 am

Caleb Holman is some guy who run a Nationwide race at Bristol driving a Lays cars 5-6 years back. He was absolutely all over the place and ran several laps with a badly damaged front end before going out early.

In other words, DIS GON B GUD Laughing

Ran the Nationwide road courses last year in the 75, which was an old JGR car, he went off at turn 5 at Road America and still finished 16th.

He was really good in the USAR Pro Cup Series. NASCAR is a different story, though.

>JWT getting sideways in practice but not wrecking

WAT.

by RocketKnight Fri Apr 05, 2013 2:14 pm

Jeb Burton beats Dakoda Armstrong by 0.001 in the first practice session. also, i'm happy to see Chase Elliot up there in 12th.

by PKligBKFan Fri Apr 05, 2013 6:17 pm

Jeb Burton and Bubba Wallace will start on the front row. Kevin Harvick starts 16th so if "cuppiewinslol" is going to happen, he has some work to do... Jonathan Davenport and Clay Greenfield DNQ.

by Dan Mackay Fri Apr 05, 2013 10:12 pm

wait, there were actually enough trucks for people to actually dnq for once, hax

by AntmanB Fri Apr 05, 2013 11:45 pm

Jeb Burton on Pole. wut.

by RealRacer4 Sat Apr 06, 2013 1:45 pm

Ready to watch the race with the lag for the next 2 hours.

Goodyear bringing in tires for the truck race that will actually make it a challenge for the drivers and the race exciting? SAY WHAT?!?!

by Metro 6r4 Sat Apr 06, 2013 2:29 pm

Anyone know where it's being streamed? (I'm probably gonna ask this for every nascar race as I really want to make an effort in watching this year as I haven't followed the entire nascar season since 2006)

Here's the stream I'm using: Link

That site has streams for a lot of races as well, it'd be worth bookmarking it.

Wow, great save by Chastain.

American adverts are really weird.

I watched them for 4 years when I was in Canada, I never got used to them.

I've heard this from a lot of non-Americans. Maybe it's just because I'm used to them, but I've never really noticed a big difference between US commercials and the rest of the world.

by BWard Sat Apr 06, 2013 3:54 pm

Johnny Sauter wins, woo-hoo! Smile

by RealRacer4 Sat Apr 06, 2013 3:59 pm

Dat top 10. Surprised

by navycook75 Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:06 pm

Good second Crafton.

Awesome job by Jeb Burton.

by Alta Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:07 pm

Alright race.

Sauter 2 for 2. Jeb Burton looking like the best young gun. Grant Galloway span a billion times.

You mean get punted 3 times...

Great race, wished Jeb or DWallace would'of won, but hey at least it wasn't cuppiewinslol

by PKligBKFan Sat Apr 06, 2013 6:31 pm

Ryan Sieg starts the year out with two top 10's and currently sits 6th in points. I like that.

Some of them are made by Hollywood.

Yup.

Also, I laughed when Hornaday got booted.

American has ads relating to the male genitalia area nearly every ad break during prime/afternoon TV time, which Australia doesn't have.

by bigdc48 Sun Apr 07, 2013 8:40 am

Good race yesterday. Sauter is definitely a championship contender being 2-0 this season. Hell of a drive by Jeb Burton, Chase Elliot and Darrell Wallace Jr.

The constant Viagra and erectile dysfunction ads are a bit new to me.
