Truck Racing

Under the lights in Phoenix the Craftsman Truck Series is definitely the best points battle in all of NASCAR. The start of the race saw Ron Hornaday on the pole. It didn't last long, as Hornaday got loose on lap one and tore his truck up pretty bad. At that point everyone thought that Johnny Benson would take a large points lead into the season finale at Homestead next week. But the truck series is hardly predictable. Johnny Benson was involved in a couple of incidents during the race, one finally taking him out of the race for several laps. Enough, actually for Hornaday to actually pass him! That tightened the points up to a mere 3 points between Benson and Hornaday.
Congratulations to Kevin Harvick driving the number 2 Chevy. It was overall a good night for him, as he won the race, but he also owns the numbers 2 and 33(Hornaday).
Next up tomorrow is Nationwide Series racing from Phoenix.
