Doing Well On The Intermediate Layouts Is Key To Winning The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Championship

Jul 10, 2007

Eight Competitors Have Won Last Ten 1.5-Mile Track Events

With nine races on 1.5-mile tracks – more than a third of the 2007 schedule – doing well on the intermediate layouts is key to winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship.

Beginning in 2000, just two champions – Travis Kvapil (No. 6 K&N Filters Ford) in 2003 and Ted Musgrave (No. 9 Team ASE/Germain Toyota) in 2005 – have failed to win at least once on the intermediates.

How have this year’s top three title contenders fared on the 1.5-mile tracks? Pretty well, thank you.

Mike Skinner (No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota), Hornaday and Todd Bodine (No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota) have captured a combined five wins in the most recent 10 intermediate track races.

Each has a 2007 win: Skinner in Atlanta, Hornaday at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and Bodine in Texas.
