NASCAR's News & Notes
Truck Series News & Notes - Nashville Superspeedway
Frustration, Momentum Accompany Dillon, Crafton To Music City
Austin Dillon expressed frustration after leading the most laps but finishing second to Matt Crafton in last weekend's race at Iowa. Still, the 21-year-old driver makes his second trip of the year to Nashville Superspeedway in much better shape points-wise than in April. Dillon's Iowa Speedway performance boosted the series sophomore to second in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points entering Friday night's Lucas Deep Clean 200 -- five spots higher than he ranked in the spring and best of 2010.
Johnny Sauter continues to head the standings for the fourth consecutive race, 22 points up on Dillon.
Dillon hopes to improve April's 11th-place Nashville finish. He was ninth in last year's second race.Dillon has seen victory slip away in three recent races. "We've given them away lately; disappointing but good for points," said Dillon, who won twice as the Sunoco Rookie of the Year in 2010. "It's disappointing. We just can't finish ...(Iowa), Kentucky and Texas."
Iowa proved redemptive for Crafton, who snapped a 79-race winless streak dating to 2008 and leapt three spots to the top-five in points. Crafton led the standings earlier this year but four straight finishes outside the top 15 -- two of them outside the top 25 -- made his championship hopes problematic. He finished sixth in Nashville's spring stop. "It's a huge momentum builder," said Crafton after collecting his second series victory. He was sixth at Nashville in the spring, a position ahead of ThorSport Racing teammate Sauter. "I'd say the biggest thing after a weekend like we had is just trying to keep that momentum."
No Arguing Nashville Superspeedway's Championship Pedigree
This can be said about Nashville Superspeedway's winner's trophy, the iconic Sam Bass-designed Gibson guitar: It's one of the most sought-after pieces of NASCAR Camping World Truck hardware. Six series champions counting 115 victories have won at least one. Johnny Benson is the only titleholder with two.
- The past three winners -- Todd Bodine, Ron Hornaday Jr. and Benson -- captured Nashville Superspeedway's late-summer race on the way to the series champion's table in Miami Beach.
- Mike Bliss, his face seriously rearranged after chasing a fly ball into the outfield fence during the previous day's driver/media softball game, won both Nashville and the championship in 2002.
- Bobby Hamilton was the track's 2004 winner and series champion.
- Travis Kvapil, the 2003 champion, won Nashville's 2007 race.
Bodine and Ron Hornaday Jr. are the only NCWTS concrete track winners expected to compete in the Lucas Deep Clean 200.
Buescher, Piquet Return To Site Of Early-Season Success
If you guessed Kyle Busch owns the season's greatest number of top-10 finishes -- eight -- you'd be wrong. The leader is James Buescher, who logged his ninth top 10 at Iowa Speedway.
Buescher, holding steady in fourth place, 36 points behind leader Sauter, has finished among the top 10 in seven consecutive races beginning at Nashville in April -- most by a series regular. Busch has finished no worse than sixth in a partial season of eight starts. At age 22 and still seeking his first series victory, Buescher could become Nashville Superspeedway's youngest winner. Carl Edwards was eight days shy of his 24th birthday when he won in 2003.
Nelson Piquet Jr. also is eager to return to Nashville where April's second-place finish stands as the Brazilian rookie's best series result to date.

David Starr spun his No. 81 Zachry Toyota during qualifying, started last in the 32-truck Coca-Cola 200 field but ended up posting his fourth top-10 finish and first back-to-back top 10s of the season. One more top 10 will match Terry Cook's ninth-best, all-time total of 112. ...Josh Richards moves into Kyle Busch Motorsports' No. 18 Toyota in Nashville for the first of consecutive starts for the current owners championship points leader. ...Dillon will do double duty this weekend with an added stint in Kevin Harvick Inc.'s NASCAR Nationwide Series No. 33 Chevrolet. Fellow KHI competitor (and NNS points leader) Elliott Sadler also will double up, taking over the No. 2 Chevrolet driven to the Iowa Keystone Light Pole by David Mayhew, who finished third. ...Nashville's last three races were won from the pole. Drivers starting from the No. 1 position also won the track's first two races.(NASCAR Integrated Marketing Communications)(7-19-2011)
