Circle Bar Racing is getting into the Halloween spirit by trading the familiar blue and orange colors on its race trucks for black and orange to celebrate Talladega’s “Hallow-Dega” race weekend. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, scheduled for October 31, will kick off the weekend’s festivities at the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway, and Circle Bar Racing drivers Rick Crawford (#14 International Truck and Engine Ford F-150) and James Buescher (#10 International MaxxForce Diesel Ford F-150) are hoping to put a scare into the competition. Crawford, an Alabama native, finished second in the truck series race at Talladega in 2007, a mere .014 seconds behind race-winner Todd Bodine. . “This is a big weekend for me because I’m going home,” said Crawford, a 13-year veteran of the truck series. “The International Truck and Engine Ford F-150, decked out in orange and black for ‘Hallow-Dega’ just looks fast.” Crawford’s teammate James Buescher, currently third in the Raybestos Rookie-of-the-Year standings, sat on the pole in last year’s ARCA RE/MAX 250 at Talladega Superspeedway. This will be his first start at Talladega in the Camping World Truck Series.
