Every season since 2004, the over-40 crowd has hogged the championship spotlight in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. But in 2011, Austin Dillon changed all of that. At 21 years, six months and 22 days, Dillon became the youngest champion in the 17-year history of the series, signaling a possible changing of the guard. Dillon was not alone in the young gun discussion, with the likes of Johnny Sauter, James Buescher and Timothy Peters all making a charge at the championship title. Throw in the addition of one of the strongest rookie classes in series history, and the series’ future looks strong.There certainly were some outstanding performances that took place during the recently completed 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck season. For a look back at some of those standout performers and memorable races, as selected from discussions with the national series directors, competition department and NASCAR Integrated Marketing Communications managers, see the 2011 NCWTS Top Performances page.(NASCAR Integrated Marketing Communications)(12-05-2011)
