Veterans Say 2010 To Be Most Competitive Season Yet
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 22, 2010) – Matt Crafton (No. 88 Menards Chevrolet) left Daytona International Speedway literally salivating in delight over his fifth-place finish in the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season opener.
“It fits perfectly with what we want to accomplish this year,” said Crafton, who finished runner-up to Ron Hornaday Jr. (No. 33 Longhorn Chevrolet) in last year’s points standings. “We went down there with a plan this year to be really smart and stay out of any situation that would put us out of the race early.
“We did that and we ended up with the best finish we’ve ever had down there.”
Crafton heads for Atlanta ahead of longtime nemesis Hornaday but that fact doesn’t guarantee the Tulare, Calif., competitor’s upgrade to his first NASCAR national series title.
Crafton and other series veterans are convinced the competition level has reached unprecedented heights in 2010.
