Can "Rowdy" keep it rockin' and rollin' when the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series resumes racing Friday night at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the North Carolina Lottery 200? That is one of many questions the truckers will tackle under the lights battling for bragging rights at the closest thing the series has to a home track. "Rowdy" - a/k/a Kyle Busch - will be back behind the wheel of Billy Ballew's No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra this weekend after skipping the Kansas race. In four starts so far this season with Ballew, Busch has two victories and a runner-up finish, and in NASCAR's top three series combined, he's won an astonishing eight races, including three each in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. Busch has an impressive record at Lowe's Motor Speedway, with two NCTS victories in three starts, and given that his two other NCTS wins this season were at fast intermediate tracks, he figures to come into this race as the favorite.

Kyle Busch led the opening round of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practice for tonight's North Carolina Lottery 200 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, turning a fast lap of 178.547 miles per hour around the 1.5-mile oval. Second fast was rookie Colin Braun in the No. 6 Con-way Freight Ford F-150 out of the Roush Fenway Racing stables. His best lap was 177.113 mph. Then it was Mike Skinner in the Toyota Tundra-sponsored Toyota from Bill Davis Racing, 176.373 mph, and Chad McCumbee, 176.188 mph, in the Malcolmson Construction Chevrolet Silverado. Jack Sprague and the American Commercial Lines Chevrolet Silverado completed the top five in the sole round of practice prior to the race, which will be event No. 6 on the NCTS schedule.

"Rowdy" continues to set the NASCAR world on its ear, this time at Lowe's Motor Speedway, where he put the Miccosukee Resorts No. 51 Toyota Tundra on the pole for the North Carolina Lottery 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. The nickname Rowdy, of course, refers to Kyle Busch, winner of eight NASCAR races so far in three divisions. Busch had another dominating effort, running a lap of 179.045 miles per hour in his Toyota to best series points leader Ron Hornaday Jr., who could manage only a speed of 176.904 mph in his Camping World Chevrolet Silverado from the Kevin Harvick Inc. squad.

All it took for Matt Crafton to finally score his breakthrough first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory was for some of his fellow truckers to live up to the series motto and not play nice together. And that's exactly what happened Friday night at Lowe's Motor Speedway, as Crafton took advantage of the mistakes and ill behavior of others to drive his Menard's Chevrolet Silverado to victory in the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 over Chad McCumbee and the Malcolmson Trucking Chevy.

Among the most enduring legends of baseball's Leo Durocher is his often-quoted utterance "Nice guys finish last". Leo the Lip's thoughts took a hardy pounding recently as Matt Crafton rolled to victory lane in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the Lowe's Motor Speedway near Charlotte, N.C. Crafton's dogged pursuit of victory in the NCTS had become a weekly story for those that cover the circuit. Race after race, week after week, the pundits picked and pondered when the breakthrough day would come. The answer was last week in Charlotte and the final count will show it came in career start No. 178.
