When Kevin Harvick announced he was shutting down his Camping World Truck Series team to put more focus on winning a Sprint Cup championship, four-time champion Ron Hornaday wasn’t the only driver affected. The closing of Kevin Harvick Inc. after this season also leaves Nelson Piquet Jr. looking for a ride, and the rookie would like to stay with the trucks. “I’m still searching for a Truck team,” said Piquet, who finished third in Friday’s Truck Series event at Chicagoland Speedway. “It’s not easy to find a Truck team at the level of KHI. If I knew which one it was, I’d have picked it a long time ago. So we’re trying, seeing what our options are, seeing what’s best available around.” Piquet said he wouldn’t rule out an opportunity in the Nationwide Series should one come along, but he’d prefer to continue his learning experience on the Truck tour.(nascar.com)(9-18-2011)
