Friday night the Camping World Truck Series will be putting on a show at the Lowe's Motor Speedway. Coverage starts at 7:30PM with Krista Voda and the pre-race show.
Rick Allen takes over at 8PM to call the action with Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip alongside. Ray Dunlap and Adam Alexander will be reporting from pit road.
This field has Cup regulars, truck series regulars and plenty of one-timers with nothing to lose. Other than Daytona, this may be the biggest stage for the truck series drivers with the top owners in the sport all in attendance.
SPEED has perfected the old-school approach to this sport, from the solo anchor in the pre-race to only two pit reporters. The pictures show the racing and the commentary talks about the action the TV viewers are actually watching.
Michael Waltrip needs to make sure and play his role in this coverage, hopefully Rick Allen will be able to keep Waltrip's enthusiasm in check. This trio has come a long way from their first season together and has been working well this year.
Great pictures and sound come from this track at night with the Musco lighting that features no infield light poles to obstruct the view of the fans or the TV viewers.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 233 of 233I thought KB just turned 23. But they just said 24?
Somebody PLEASE TWEET the NASCAR.com race buddy thing tomorrow.
just went to nascar.com and found nothing.sigh
if it's an "ANIMATION thingie" I am NOT interested though.
@karen: i am well and truly so fed up with all the hype to this point that i've been pondering whether i even want to committ the time tomorrow. i actually skipped the pit crew challenge and that's a BIG deal as i'm a big fan of that b/c i love the pit crews getting some attention! but . . . it's just been so relentless.
that being said: it is a new race format for the all-star race and that might be interesting. so this race buddy knock-off might be enough to entice me to watch.
plus, i have to work tomorrow -- graduation at the college so the bookstore needs to be open! -- so i may just need a racing fix to make up for not having the day off!
Sophia, right on the right hand side. It says All-Star Buddy, just click on it.
Simple, easy...free...my fav.
Red which college?
Question is since he's a top 3 finisher....does Kyle allow to be interviewed?
@Tracy
re: Choc chip cookies.
Sorry!:-) wish i had some. Getting low on milk but will wait until tomorrow now...getting late.
My snack will have to be a bowl of Cereal. Sigh. Kelloggs Cornflakes which sounded good (and better than sugary Captain Crunch) What a soggy disappointment. I can go MONTHS without cereal then get on a kick of a couple of different kinds.
YAY! HORNADAY won!!!
Congrats Ron.
What was that about with Rick>
Why are the 10 and 14 bumping like ...something bad went on beforehand?
nrf: gwynedd-mercy. resigned from GM position at boders so i could have my life back. took the AM position at GMC: no nights, weekends, holidays. sweet gig -- and i really like the people i work with a ton!
Well, most of the race was fun and no rain fell, but the end was a little bit of a letdown.
Nice to see them following other races across the finish line.
ESPN...are you watching?
YEA Ron!!!!
No SDDD in victory lane.
Good finish line shot. Thanks Speed.
Nice win Grandpa! Congrats.
Thanks guys & gals need to shower & get ready for work tomorrow. Hopefully be home in time for race start!
G'nite
Wouldn't mess with Crawford, might be an opening for a new driver tomorrow morning :)
Twitter had the winner posted before I saw the checkers on Speed. What's up with that? I checked I'm live not DVR
Good win for Ron! Luv to see a truck regular driver win
correction: that bookstore i resigned is "borders", not "boders."
a mind truly IS a terrible thing to waste.
I thought that during the long red flag they should have done a field run down.
JD
I had to turn OFF Firefox Adblocker to see the Race Buddy thing..I just saw black space...I thought I was losing it. but it appeared when I turned of the adblock and refreshed.
thanks
Good night to those leaving. We will be blogging the All-Star race tomorrow. Hope to see you then.
Mayfield news if and when it happens.
Thanks Red I have to work tomorrow too and was afraid it was Ursinas (sp), didn't want to get stuck in the traffic that all brings.
I hope we don't see any of that crazy confetti tonight.
That was actually a good interview from Kyle. Way to express disappointment in a good manner.
Vicky tomorrow we will have confetti stars, just wait and see. At least it won't look like a disease
Thanks JD. Fun time as usual.
Goodnight e friends. See you tomorrow.
Soph I'm actually with Mike on this one, wasn't that bad of an interview.
Didn't he call Ray Dunlap Rick?
Sorry my shrub bias is showing.
:-)
JD, no, he didn't call him Rick.
oops, Rookie in trouble now. Bet that won't happen again
Great Coverage. All the booth was great. Even Mikey was better this time. Rick and Phil are always great and the pit road.. Amazing how 2 people can cover better then a fleet of reporters on other coverage.
Without the added safety the past few years there would not be a Mike Skinner right now. That was an ugly crash even without the second hit.
Split screen on the pit stops during green. Recaps of the trucks.
I thought Kyle Bush's final interview was good. He fessed up to the accident.
Hmmm..in multi tasking I must have mis-heard shrub..I thought he BLAMED the wreck on somebody else..not fess up to it. hmmm
Thus my snarky comments . .
DELETED.
:-)
