Nov 3, 2009 at 5:11 PMThe truck races are slowly becoming a fan favorite. It is still the one series where the drivers get to do what they know and not as they are told.

Nov 3, 2009 at 5:56 PMI used to watch all the cup races, now I am more a fan of the trucks..at least they race hard for the wins and each win is earned...as long as Nascar does not ruin it their numbers will continue to rise.

Nov 4, 2009 at 12:49 AMTwo reasons why this is up and other is down. 1. Lot better racing and 2. Don't have to hear Jr's name every other word.

Nov 4, 2009 at 8:56 AMI am also becoming a big fan of the truck races. Much more exciting than cup. But please don't tell Nascar bigwigs or they'll find a way to tone it down and make them as boring as cup. Also I agree with the Mikey comment. Can't stand his phoney excitement...I hope they find someone else to do commentary.

Nov 4, 2009 at 9:39 AMVery true #11 Truck racing reminds me of the old cup racing days! #11 I did find Mikeys comments about just give me 10 minutes of calm before we start this big shootout very insightful. I know the average person's work is nothing like racing but I can relate to having all the confusion sometimes and you just want everyone to calm down and think things thru.
