When asked about the opportunity to drive the #18 Dollar General Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series this season, Jason Leffler described it as the “Chance of a Lifetime.” So why is driving the Dollar General Tundra the chance of a lifetime? Every driver strives to land a competitive ride which allows him the opportunity to run up front and win races. In its first two seasons competing in the Truck Series, KBM’s #18 Tundra has visited Victory Lane 16 times, led 1,895 laps and recorded 32 top-five finishes in 50 starts. When Leffler makes his debut behind the wheel of the #18 Dollar General Tundra in Friday’s NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway, he’s hoping to one-up his most recent finish at the famed speedway. The veteran driver came home second in last July’s Nationwide Series race at the 2.5-mile tri-oval, crossing the stripe .04 seconds behind race winner Joey Logano. Leffler’s Camping World Truck Series career: In 46 career starts has accumulated one win (Dover ’03), 10 poles, 19 top-five and 29 top-10 finishes. In 2002, captured a NCWTS series-leading eight poles, ranked second with 494 laps led and registered 11 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes en route to a fourth-place finish in the final standings(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(2-21-2012)
