Man, its getting to be crunch time for the Truck drivers in the Camping World Series. Although Hornaday and Piquet took that literally by running into each during practice for the Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway.
Open Race Thread: NASCAR Camping World Trucks Kroger 200 | Martinsville Speedway
Because of last week’s race, the points battle has started to heat up. The large point lead Dillon had has now disappeared and the top four drivers are now seperated by just 16 points. At this point, it can be anybody’s championship to win (or lose) and Martinsville can be just as unpredictable as Talladega (with slightly less speeds).
My pick to win? From the Truck regulars I’m going with either Sauter or Hornaday. I don’t know if Dillon can be as rough and tumble as those guys just yet - give him a few more seasons and he will be I’m sure. From the Cup entrants I’m looking at Harvick or Hamlin - although I think when push comes to shove Harvick will go out of his way to get Hornaday the best finish possible since Harvick owns Hornaday’s truck and he is currently in the battle for the Championship.
