NASCAR
NASCAR, an acronym for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. NASCAR has three national series that it sanctions for racing.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
With its debut in 1995, the modified pickup truck races are in the third tier of NASCAR racing under the Xfinity Series and Cup Series. This is where most drivers make their national series debut.
Originally, the races took place on mainly short tracks in the West. Now, races also take place on speedways and subsequently have similar schedules to the other series.
The series has gone through several sponsorship and name changes over the years. It has gone from NASCAR SuperTruck Series, to Craftsman Truck Series in 1996, Camping World Truck Series in 2009, to Gander Outdoors Truck Series in 2019, to Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series in 2020, back to Camping World Truck Series in 2021, and finally returned to Craftsman Truck Series to start the 2023 season.
Ten drivers make it to the Truck Series playoffs, with the field getting reduced to eight and then four through elimination races before the Championship 4 in the final race, where the top finisher out of the Championship 4 drivers is crowned the champion.
Mike Skinner won the first Truck championship in 1995. Ron Hornaday Jr. holds the most series championships at four. Jack Sprague and Matt Crafton are next with three titles apiece. Todd Bodine and Ben Rhodes have two championships.
