With two races remaining, four drivers are within 72 points the closest margin at this stage of the season of winning their first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship. Last year, the worst finish any of these teams had at the final two tracks Phoenix International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway was 13th. Current points leader #62-Brendan Gaughan was the only driver among the current top four in points to wind up outside the top 10 at either race last year, finishing 11th and 13th respectively. To prepare, crew chief Shane Wilson is taking the teams two best trucks, which won at Las Vegas and Texas, to the wind tunnel in Detroit to make sure they are comfortable with their aero package in preparation for the Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 14. He believes Phoenix will take care of itself since the teams NASCAR Grand National Division, Winston West Series driver Scott Lynch won at Phoenix on Oct. 12. Fourth-place #46-Dennis Setzers team has a wind tunnel date to look at their spoiler options for Homestead-Miami Speedway, where NASCAR will require the teams to run the same spoiler package as Daytona, Texas and Charlotte.(NASCAR PR)(10-23-2003)
