Florida native Chris Fontaine continued his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series education Friday night in the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 at the famed Milwaukee Mile. Fontaine, in only his second NCTS start, witnessed a torrid pace set by pole sitter Jack Sprague and eventual winner Dennis Setzer as they swept away most of the competition in a long green flag run that lasted 143 laps. Before the midway mark of the event, only five trucks were left on the lead lap. The result for Fontaine was a 25th place finish.

Smith ran as high as eighth during the running of the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200. The team's strategy of pitting early would have paid off, however, four laps after their second pit stop, a caution came out, trapping Smith two laps down to the leader.

When it was all said and done, driver Robert Pressley earned a 14th place finish during the Toyota Tundra 200 event. “That’s another good solid finish for us, but we still have a little ways to go to get in the top-10 every week,” said Pressley after the event. “This last two weeks have seen the guys come together real good at the race track and the results are starting to show up for us.” (TruckSeries.com Photo)

With only one caution during the 200-lap Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 Bobby Hamilton raced his way from his 20th starting position to finish the event in the sixth spot, the same place he finished last year on the Milwaukee Mile. Hamilton qualified for the event earlier in the day and said his truck was extremely loose during his two hot laps. The No. 04 Dodge started in the 20th position, but once the green flag dropped, it was a steady uphill climb from there. (Ronda Greer Photo)

A carburetor problem caused David Reutimann to finish 23rd in the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at the Milwaukee Mile Friday night. “We ran really strong up until we had problems with the carburetor around Lap 146,” said Reutimann. “We were running fifth when we came down pit road for our second pit stop.

Dennis Setzer and Jack Sprague were in a league of their own en route to a one-two finish in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200. The Chevrolet-driving duo – separated by nearly four seconds at the finish of the 200-mile, 200-lap race over the Milwaukee Mile at State Fair Park – together led all but five miles as Setzer averaged a track record 109.907 mph for the distance. Setzer, who passed Bud Pole winner Sprague on the 44th lap, gave up the lead twice – and then only because of pit stops. The 45-year-old veteran from Newton, N.C., whose best previous Milwaukee finish of second came in the track’s 1995, inaugural event, took the point for the final time at lap 146 and steadily pulled away from Sprague.(Ronda Greer Photo)

Brandon Whitt’s goal from the very beginning of the day was a solid race without major problems and bringing home a solid finish. As far as the #38 McMillin Homes/Cure Autism Now Toyota Tundra team is concerned, he did just that. Whitt, watching in awe with just about everyone else while Dennis Setzer blitzed the field and won Friday night’s Toyota Tundra 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the Milwaukee (Wis.) Mile, brought home a very solid 13th-place finish in the race.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Brendan Gaughan and the Jasper Engines and Transmissions team are thriving under the guidance of crew chief Tony "Rambo" Liberati. Since joining the team in May, Liberati has rallied the troops back at the shop and commanded the road crew with confidence and authority that comes from years of experience playing the racing game. Case in point - Friday night's race at the historic Milwaukee Mile where Gaughan scored his best start and finish of the season to date. (Steve Keller/TruckSeries.com Photo)

Dennis Setzer won the Toyota Tundra 200 at The Milwaukee Mile in a dominant performance that saw him lap all but the second, third, and fourth place drivers on Friday night.
Setzer took the lead for the first time on lap 43 and only gave up the point during pit stops in a race that saw the first 142 laps run under green flag with only one caution flag on the night to slow the action.
Setzer followed pole-sitter Jack Sprague off the start and stalked the Texas winner until Sprague was boxed in traffic as they caught the tail of the field.
Setzer made the pass on the outside down the backstretch to stake the claim on the lead and run off into the distance. Setzer stretched his advantage to well over two seconds at times before the only caution flag of the night waved when Johnny Benson had trouble in turn one and did a half spin. Benson's truck didn't make contact with anything and was pushed back to the pits, but mechanical problems sent him to the garage for the evening. (High Sierra Photo)

"Tuesday afternoon I didn't even know if I was going to be here in Milwaukee. I knew I wasn't out of racing. But, I didn't know where I'd be driving and wasn't sure about being able to stay with Toyota. Some really neat things happened this week. The folks at TRD made some good things happen. To come here to Milwaukee and finish this race is pretty good. We just have two trucks. We didn't qualify like we should have and that probably cost us some. Then, getting a lap down going along pit road hurt us too."

“We didn’t know for sure what we were going to have during the first practice. Eric Phillips (crew chief) worked really hard on this Silverado during that practice. Randy Goss from Chevrolet came over and said that we needed to roll better in the center. So that is what we worked on. We were just a little free in and a little free off but our Chevrolet Silverado was just awesome tonight. This is just a team I drive for, they are awesome. “I didn’t have any heat problems, my feet are fine. My guys build these trucks awesome and with working the brake like you do here at Milwaukee, your feet keep moving all the time.” (High Sierra Photo)

“I don’t understand that. I try to abide by the NASCAR rulebook as much as I can. We have a pit road speed and we set our tach to it on the pace lap, and I know I was six rows deep on the starting grid, but I knew they were watching pretty hard. I was right on the money, and I don’t know, maybe I should have crept down pit road and went on out there.

Jack Sprague tied Ted Musgrave's year old track record to claim his fourth pole position at The Milwaukee Mile during quallifying for the Toyota Tundra 200. Sprague's lap of 29.513 ties Musgrave's mark to the thousandth of a second, and puts him up front for the first time in 2005. The last pole for Sprague was in Phoenix last November and it is the 29th of his NCTS career. Todd Bodine makes his return to the Germain-Arnold Racing team and they picked up where they left off in 2004. Bodine was second quick in qualifying with a lap of 29.761 seconds. Bodine had been with the Fiddleback Racing team, but that team closed its doors earlier this week and Bodine returned to the team that he won two races with to close out the 2004 season. It is the best start for the No. 30 Toyota this season.

“Our Chevy Trucks Silverado is good. Both in race trim and on our qualifying runs. The heat makes it a little more challenging for Chris (Showalter, crew chief) and the guys to make sure we have what we need come race time tonight, but this has been a good track for us and I feel good about our chances to have a really strong run tonight.”

“We’ve always had really good results at Milwaukee,” Crafton said. “I really like going fast at places like Charlotte and Texas, but I like the flat tracks too. Phoenix, New Hampshire, and Milwaukee are all places I look forward to because it seems like the driver is a little more of a factor at the flatter tracks, and that’s when I want to be on top of my game. Handling is important at Milwaukee because you are in the corner so long. You have to get it to roll through the corners and you need to be able to get on the gas as early as you can and carry that speed off the corners. A lot of times you will be tight through the center and then it snaps loose on you off the corner. You need a lot of steam under the hood, and we definitely haven’t been down on power this year.”

“I’ve said it all year long, all we need is the bad luck to stop and we’ll be just fine,” said Hines. “The guys are working hard and learning every week. We have a very young crew, and Truck Series racing is new to a lot of them. They have a ton of experience; they are just learning how to apply that to these Trucks. It can be a challenge sometimes, but I am feeling good that we’ll start putting together some finishes in the next few weeks.”

Some race tracks just fit a driver’s style better than others. For Jack Sprague, the Milwaukee Mile is just one of those tracks. From 1995 through 2001, Sprague never started nor finished out of the top-ten in a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. He captured three poles, one win, five top-five and seven top-ten finishes in the seven-year span.

Dennis Setzer has always been a big fan of the Milwaukee Mile. In his first-ever NASCAR Craftsman Truck race in 1995 at the famed Wisconsin track saw him battle with Mike Skinner, who went on to claim the inaugural NCTS championship, for the win. Although he finished second, his performance netted him the attention he needed to get his foot solidly in the door with both NCTS and NASCAR Busch Series teams.

The following is the transcript from today’s teleconference with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers Ted Musgrave (driver of the No. 1 Mopar Dodge) and Dennis Setzer (driver of the No. 46 Chevrolet Silverado). Musgrave, who is third in points, has one win this season (Gateway International Raceway), four top-fives and six top-10 finishes. Setzer, who is currently second in points, also has one win (Michigan International Speedway), four top-fives and seven top-10 finishes.

“You have to start building back somewhere,” said Huffman. “I think finishing 19th was good considering how we were during the race. We didn’t have the greatest truck because we had some handling and tire issues we couldn’t overcome. We got into some situations where we should have been tore up even during practice. I felt like we were very fortunate to survive all the things we did and come away with a 19th-place finish. Naturally, you want to do better, but it’s a starting point for us.”

After collecting one top-five and three top-10s in a row, David Reutimann takes on the Milwaukee Mile in the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event this Friday night. “We’re running really good right now,” said Reutimann. “We’re carrying our momentum into Milwaukee. Last week, we had the best truck I’ve had on a big track since Atlanta of last year. I was very happy with the truck we had there. We didn’t start off where we wanted, but we made some real good adjustments. We got it a lot better. It drove great at the end of the race and we were able to collect another top-10 finish. Hopefully, we’ll be just as good at Milwaukee.”

"Yeah, it's always nice to go to some place that you've raced before and have experience with, but it's always nice to go home, too. I'll have a lot of friends and family there that will be supporting me. Like I said, any time that you go somewhere that you have experience at before."

"The only other time I've run Milwaukee in the Truck Series a couple of years ago, I ended up qualifying and finishing in the top-10, so I hope I can do the same this weekend. We've got the Edy's folks on board with us
for this event and we'd all like to have a solid finish for them."

Ted Musgrave’s (No. 1 Mopar Dodge) victory in last year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at The Milwaukee Mile was significant in a number of ways. Musgrave, who spent the formative years of his racing career in Wisconsin, became the first two-time winner of the Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200. Although he couldn’t have known it at the time, Musgrave was the only Bud Pole qualifier to win a race in 2004. (Ronda Greer Photo)

“We tested up in Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago and ran pretty good, so that is why Jeff did not take this truck with him to Michigan last weekend. I have had a lot of success in Milwaukee. I have won a truck race there and had a Busch Series race won until I ran out of fuel on the white flag lap. It has been a good track for me." -Mike Skinner
|
|
|
|
“It is going to be great going back to Milwaukee. I have had a lot of success there in my ASA cars, and I have run a one truck race there and finished in the top 10. Going back there is going to be cool. I know the track is a little different than it was back in my ASA days with the new pavement in the corners and things of that nature." -Johnny Benson

“I am looking forward to going to Milwaukee after we tested there a couple of weeks ago. We compared data with Mike Skinner [driver of the No. 5 Toyota Tundra] and think that we both improved our setups because of that. With Waste Management being on the truck, I am looking forward to giving them a good run. I like to run up front and have a career day with my No. 22 Toyota Tundra team.” -Bill Lester

The Power Stroke Diesel by International race team saw its third top-10 finish in 2004 with a seventh-place finish. The team slowly made their way to the front during the race’s second half after starting 19th in the field. The race was the first NCTS night race and fourth consecutive top-10 finish at The Milwaukee Mile. “Milwaukee is a lot different than all the speedways that we’ve been at for qualifying; you need to be good for qualifying. Track position is very big at these flat tracks and it’s harder to pass than say at Texas, Michigan, Charlotte and others so we’ll need to qualify well." - Terry Cook (Ronda Greer Photo)

It’s always nice to go into a race weekend as the defending race champion, and this weekend Braun Racing will have Ron Hornaday behind the wheel of the #32 WINFUEL Chevy. Coincidentally, Hornaday chased down past Braun Racing drivers Shane Hmiel and David Stremme in the closing laps of last years race at The Milwaukee Mile to capture the Busch Series win. Stremme sat on the pole and finished 2nd in the #32 Braun Racing car, while Hmiel who drove for Braun Racing at the beginning of the 2005 season finished 3rd.

““I love this track, I always have. We had an awesome Chevy Trucks Silverado last year and were headed for a strong finish until the motor let go. It has been a track that suited my driving style. It is a challenging, technical track that requires you to have a good handling package under your truck. It isn’t the easiest place to pass so you have to really carefully plan how you are going to get around someone and have the power under the hood to get a good run off the corner and make your pass on the straight away. Chevrolet is on a roll right now and we need to continue to do our part to keep that momentum going. I am excited to be back at Milwaukee and see if we can’t get another W for our Xpress Motorsports team and Chevrolet Silverado.”

|
|
"Milwaukee is a great track for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to race at. You’ve really got to be on the bottom in both corners to pass. This is one of those tracks where chassis set-up is really important. This year with the new gear rule, a good chassis is really going to be important. Our team has been really good here in the past and we’ve had some great runs at this track. I am also excited about running under the lights at the track again. The folks up there have done an excellent job of upgrading the track and all the facilities. The lighting is especially great and provides unbelievable vision for the drivers during the race."
|
|
|
"I know that sounds kind of bold, but I think in order to (win the championship), if you worry about points, is to go try to win the race. Musgrave was the points leader before Michigan, he had a parts failure. Now he’s third or fourth. That’s his home track. He’s won a couple of races there. He’s the defending champion of the race. Dennis Setzer is a short track ace. He runs well there, and he’s five points behind me in second. Ricky Craven is good anywhere and he’s third or fourth. We did go up there and test because we needed to work on our flat track stuff. We feel good about going up there right now.”
|
|
|
"I went to Bobby Hamilton's test there, and it looks like a real smooth track. He did really well, and they will translate all of the information from that to all three of the BHR trucks. From the times, it looks like all three of us are going to be pretty fast."

Growing up three blocks from the Milwaukee Mile, Milt Bishop dreamed of one day being part of the action. From his home, he could hear the rumble of race cars, but was never able to get a close look. When he was 12 years old, he decided it was time to take action. "While riding my bike, I discovered a large storm drain," said Bishop. "It was large enough for me to ride my bike into, so in I went. I quickly realized that it went under the track and I knew it was my chance to get a closer look." Much to the surprise of the fans in the infield, he emerged from a storm drain.

"It's been several years since I raced at Milwaukee, but I'm looking forward to it. That track is very exciting and they always have an enthusiastic crowd, especially racing under the lights. I've only been there three times, but I don't think the track has changed too much since I raced there last in 1997, but the vehicles have." - Ricky Craven
