Chris Wimmer's first trip to Atlanta Motor Speedway turned out to be an exciting one. After narrowing avoiding two major wrecks on lap 3, when the 67 of Steve Park and the 16 of Mike Bliss got together bringing out the red flag for 30 minutes, and on the final lap when a hugh crash erupts as the leaders cross the start finish line, he brought his # 08 Chevy Silverado home in the 17th place.

Heading to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' Easy Care Vehicle Service Contract 200 on Saturday, Kyle Busch knew he had a goal. That was to bring home the victory for Billy Ballew Motorsports and team owner Billy Ballew, who hails from nearby Blairsville, Ga., as well as the numerous sponsors Ballew had lined up, all locally-owned and operated businesses from the surrounding area.

"Those guys got crazy there at the end of that race," Hamilton said after he crossed the finish line in the grass. "When you only have three laps left on a final restart, you have to go for it. One thing they need to learn though is to slow down when the caution comes out. We could have all been badly hurt because some people plowed into others not ever slowing down; thank goodness we were not." (Charles Krall/TruckSeries.com Photo)

"I knew when Kyle and Bobby got up there on new tires that it was going to be interesting but I did not quite think it would be that interesting at the end. I saw both Jack and Johnny both go sideways getting off of turn-four right in front of every body and than they started wrecking. I went for the middle of the track and I got lucky."

It was a premature conclusion to the race weekend for Steve Park and his No. 67 South Padre Island Toyota Tundra team late Saturday afternoon when a hit from another truck on the first circuit of the 130-lap competition sent Park’s truck spinning and then slamming into the outside wall. Other competitors worked to avoid the wreckage. While many succeeded, others ran out of room to run and hit the No. 67 truck, causing one of the trucks to burst into flames.

The No. 5 team has been the team to beat on the mile-and-a-half race tracks during the 2005 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series campaign. The team had a dominant truck at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the spring race, but a cut right-front tire put them out of the race. The team was determined to redeem themselves this weekend.

A last-lap mishap that collected multiple trucks during the conclusion of Saturday's NASCAR Craftsman truck race at Atlanta Motor Speedway left Johnny Benson and his Allstar Financial Toyota race team waiting a good bit after the race was over to find out where they had finished.

Life imitated art Saturday as Kyle Busch passed Jack Sprague in the last turn of the final lap to capture the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The finish - which saw Busch pit for tires and go from ninth to Sprague's tailgate in two-plus laps - was something right off the silver screen. Days of Thunder to be exact, according to Busch, who kept his National Land Acquisition/Krud Kutter Chevrolet moving forward despite being crowded into the outside wall by Sprague's unsuccessful squeeze play. "That was more or less like Rowdy Burns from Days of Thunder," said Busch, who won for the third time aboard Atlanta native Billy Ballew's largely unsponsored truck that. Ironically, it gave Chevrolet its sixth series manufacturer championship. "He ran me up into the fence and I just had to keep my foot in it." (Teresa Kirkendall/High Sierra Photo)

What should have been a good finish for Todd Kluever took a frightening turn as the race ended. Kluever was coming out of turn four on the final lap as several trucks spun in front of him. Although he finished sixth, he took several hard hits while crossing the finish line. Kluever started his No. 50 Shell Rotella® T Ford F-150 in fourth place. 30-minute red flag delayed the race after only two laps for a three-truck accident that happened behind Kluever.

When Saturday’s EasyCare 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race had concluded at the Atlanta Motor Speedway many of the race trucks in the garage area looked more like they had just run a half-mile short track rather than a mile-and-a-half speedway due to a major accident as the field came to the checkered flag.

"I've heard I've been from fifth to seventh so far. It was a pretty good day for us with our Shell Rotella T truck. We were as high as third, and for the first part of the race we really had a good truck. We just really couldn't get it do exactly what I needed it to do to run better than that. That ending there, I came off of four and I saw the 60 truck sideways going across the start-finish line."

What happened on the last lap?
"I'm not real sure. I knew some of them guys got tires and it was going to be big. The last three laps I run wide open through Turns One and Two. I knew he was going to go high, so I tried to go to the middle of the race track. He went outside of me and got me loose -- and I just stayed in. There was nothing I could do.

Randy Seals:
“Basically, the rule is that we cannot do anything, we can’t go to the racetrack at all unless we are at least minimum Goodyear recommended on the right front and right front only.”
Mike Beam:
“We knew about it last week. We tried to adjust for it a little bit, through spring rates and shocks and sway bars."

Mike Skinner did his best General Sherman impression and stormed through the field to pick up the Bud Pole Award for today's Easy Care Vehicle Services Contracts 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Skinner ran a lap of 30.363 seconds/182.591 miles per hour to pick up his series leading sixth pole of 2005. Skinner started third here in Atlanta in the spring, but had the dominant truck early on before a punctured right front tire sent him into the turn four wall and out of contention. Skinner knocked off series points leader Ted Musgrave, who will fire off from outside the front row after a lap of 30.458 seconds/182.021 miles per hour. Brandon Whitt matched his qualifying performance at Martinsville and will line up third, which is his best career start on a 1.5-mile track. Todd Kluever has been strong all season long on the mile-and-a-half speedways and continued his streak of performances with a fourth-place run, while two-time 2005 winner Kyle Busch will round out the top five starters in Atlanta native Billy Ballew's Chevrolet.

Talk about Atlanta, you're practice today, qualifying tomorrow, and your strategy for the race. Musgrave:
"The mockup runs kind of mean something here at Atlanta but then they don't. If you don't have a fast truck, you are kind of in trouble here at Atlanta."
Setzer:
" Most anyone who has a decent truck can go out there and hold it wide open for a couple of qualifying laps here at Atlanta." (High Sierra Photo)

"Practice was a little up and down. We searched really hard with our Silverado mostly on race runs. We put stickers on there and turned a respectable lap so if we can start there in the top 10, we will be pretty happy about that and then go race."

"This is my first time in a Tundra. It runs pretty good. I'm just enjoying it. We'll try to get in the field, and then go racing." "I think there's more of an adjustment going from one team to another team, rather than going from one manufacturer to another. This team is a new bunch of people -- some I know and some I don't know."

The Silly Season moves that used to be reserved for the off-season have made their way to the middle of the season these days, and it is certainly in evidence in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series here at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The first shoe to drop was the release of Jack Sprague from the No. 16 Chevrolet by Xpress Motorsports. Sprague then replaced Chad Chaffin, who was a part of the musical chairs in June when he and Todd Bodine basically swapped rides. Steve Park was the next driver to make waves, as he departed the Orleans Racing No. 62 Dodge and was replaced by West coast rookie Scott Lynch. Park didn't stay in the unemployment line long, as he showed up here in Atlanta driving a fourth Toyota truck for Bill Davis Racing. (Ronda Greer Photo)
