Inexperience and aggressive driving turned the last 45 minutes of Friday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series test at Daytona International Speedway into a wild, emotionally charged crash-fest.
In a span of 20 minutes there were two multi-truck accidents on opposite ends of the 2.5-mile tri-oval involving a half-dozen competitors. It was the first day of a three-day test for NCTS teams. News-Journal Online
“Roush-Fenway Racing was very fast once again at Daytona. Things started out well for them early but took a turn later in the afternoon. When we saw those guys race at Talladega last year, they tore up four trucks so they’ve had so much work to do. They get down to Daytona with high expectations and then the afternoon session didn’t go well. There was a big group of drafting going down through the center of the tri-oval and them ‘bam,’ right into the wall go two of the Roush-Fenway Racing trucks. There is so much money involved with getting these race trucks ready so they’ve got to get back there and work on the ones they think are their very best. They’ll get those trucks ready and bring them back in February and try to win the race. Truck Series.com
