Sauter Family Patriarch Entered in Milwaukee Truck Event
In celebration of Father’s Day, NASCAR Busch Series driver Johnny Sauter has a special gift in mind for his dad Jim. He’s fielding a truck for him to race in the “Black Cat® Fireworks 200” at The Milwaukee Mile on Friday night, June 25.

NASCAR Notes: Milwaukee

Chevrolet Post-Race Report: MILWAUKEE
Dennis Setzer, No. 46 Chevrolet Silverado (Started 12th Finished 3rd): “It was a good run for us because we weren’t that good at the beginning but Danny (Gill, crew chief) and the Silverado guys made great adjustments and we kept getting better as the race went along.  We knew that Ted (Musgrave) was strong and if he could get through traffic he would be fast so we hoped there weren’t any more yellows but that isn’t how it played out...

Handling Woes Relegate Spencer To 16th Place Finish At Milwaukee
Jimmy Spencer's Team ASE/CARQUEST Dodge showed some promise during the middle stages of the Black Cat 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at the Milwaukee Mile on Friday night.

Unfortunately for the Berwick, PA native, his truck was more than just a tick tight in the closing stages of the event and Spencer was relegated to a 16th place finish.

First Major NASCAR Victory Continues to Elude Hmiel
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Driver Shane Hmiel went to Milwaukee hoping to keep the momentum going after the No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports second place finish at Memphis Motorsports Park the week prior. Hmiel was poised to bring home a 3rd place finish when he was spun in the final laps of the Black Cat Fireworks 200 at The Milwaukee Mile on Friday night.

Musgrave, Ultra Motorsports 'R' Back
Ted Musgrave and his crew didn’t exactly plan the strategy but an extra pit stop proved to be the difference in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory in the Black Cat Fireworks 200 at The Milwaukee Mile. Musgrave’s Ultra Motorsports crew chief Gene Nead knew when caution flew on the 127th lap that the Mopar Dodge didn’t have sufficient fuel to go the distance. So Nead pitted Musgrave, who went from race leader to 18th on the restart – but with tires nearly 30 laps newer than his rivals. Trailing race leader Dennis Setzer by two seconds when he finally moved around Travis Kvapil with 14 laps remaining, Musgrave appeared destined to finish in the runnerup position for the second time in three races.

Truck Series Race Notes: MILWAUKEE
Ted Musgrave was smiling late Friday night, perhaps for the first time since his close – and bitter – loss of the 2003 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway. And five finishes of 12th or worse to start the current season hadn’t exactly improved Musgrave’s mood.
