Only weeks after the season finale in Homestead, Roushs two Craftsman Truck Series teams are already preparing for their first 2005 test next week. New drivers Ricky Craven and Todd Kluever will get their first opportunity to get behind the wheel of the Ford F-150s at Talladega Superspeedway on December 13-14. The teams will be concentrating on aerodynamics and chassis set-up for the 2005 trucks. Im really looking forward to our first test, Craven said. Ive only competed in one truck race so far in my career (at New Hampshire) so Im anxious to get going and start working with everybody. NASCAR has a new rear-spring package for 2005 so weve got to spend some time deciding how to set-up the truck for Daytona. Well be testing there in January, which will be helpful as well. Kluever, Roushs rookie driver, will have a busy month ahead of him. Not only will he be testing at Talladega, but moving to North Carolina from his home state of Wisconsin.(Roush Racing PR)(12-7-2004)
