NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES

Kyle Busch Looks For 4th AMS Win In Trucks

The series heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the American Commercial Lines 200 on Saturday. The 1.54-mile track is familiar territory for Kyle Busch. He is the defending race winner, with additional wins in October of 2005 and 2007.

Four other former winners are expected to compete; Mike Skinner (March 2007), Todd Bodine (March 2006), Mike Bliss (October 2006), and Ron Hornaday Jr. (March 2005).

AMS is Ballew’s House – Literally

Billy Ballew, owner of the No. 15 and No. 51 Toyotas, has owned a condominium at Atlanta Motor Speedway since 1994, and it’s been a house of celebration the last two years. Ballew has visited Victory Lane with driver Kyle Busch each year. For both races, sponsors, family, friends and crew members gathered at the condo for a race-viewing party.

“The success we’ve had at the track with Kyle Busch is phenomenal, and to me, winning there is bigger than winning the Indianapolis 500,” Ballew said. “I’ve enjoyed the bird’s eye view of the wins we’ve had there.”

Milestone Marker: Rick Crawford To Make 300th Start In Series

Rick Crawford is set to make his 300th career start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series on Saturday – and become the series’ start leader. (Team owner Tom Mitchell marked his 300th start as a team owner at Auto Club Speedway.)

Crawford, who has spent all of his 13 seasons with Mitchell and Circle Bar Racing, has five wins, 72 top fives, 150 top 10s, and five poles.

The Mobile, Ala. native has finished inside the top 10 in championship points six times with a best finish of second in 2002.
