There is nothing quite like that Cinderella story in sports. Think of the NCAA Tournament and all of the upsets that have happened over it’s 78-year span, with 15-seeds beating 2-seeds, 14-seeds over 3-seeds and the always anticipated 12 vs. 5 match-up. This season, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series could face a similar situation. The …
Remember back in 2012, when the Camping World Truck Series schedule lost a few races and it wasn’t a popular move within the industry? Now in it’s fifth year of existence, you can say it has worked for the better. Currently, the Truck Series runs 23 races and has added one venue since 2014, bringing Atlanta Motor Speedway …
Greetings, race fans. This past weekend at Dover was a bit more like the Dover of elementary school for me than the Dover we’ve been used to.

A plethora of on-track crashes. Double-file restarts time and time again. None of it could keep Kyle Busch from winning as his No. 18 Toyota broke through to take the checkered flag first at the Alpha Energy Solutions 250 Saturday afternoon. The race is Busch’s first-ever NASCAR win at Martinsville Speedway in any of the sport’s top three …
Welcome back, everybody. I hope you enjoyed Easter weekend. Much like many of you reading this article, I spent time with my family and relaxed. I also watched a couple of old-school races on YouTube to kill time. One of them may be critiqued for a future edition of the Critic’s Annex in the Frontstretch …
Parker Kligerman If I had told you that Ricky Benton Racing Enterprises would the Truck Series standings this year, you would have laughed in my face. But that’s exactly what has happened this year. Parker Kligerman has taken the part-time team and put it atop the points standings with finishes of third and eighth at …
