The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has been nothing if not eclectic this season, from the blinding speed of young Kyle "Rowdy" Busch and the relentless pursuit of another championship by Ron Hornaday Jr. to surprise first-time winners two weeks in a row in Matt Crafton and Donny Lia. Put bluntly, the Trucks — and their drivers — have continued to deliver exciting racing this season. And there's sure to be plenty more hard racing on tap Friday during the AAA 200 at Dover International Speedway, round No. 8 of the 25-race 2008 NCTS schedule. With a concrete racing surface and 24 degree banking in the corners, the Monster Mile has been accurately described as "Bristol on steroids," a fast, action-filled track where trouble is never far away. And Bristol is a place where Hornaday and his all-conquering No. 33 Camping World Chevrolet Silverado never seem to be far from the front. Hornaday, the defending series champ, is also the defending Dover winner, having led 91 laps to capture the victory here last season. Two years earlier, he led 134 laps in his Kevin Harvick Inc.-owned entry before finishing fourth. (NASCAR Media Photo)

Rookie Scott Speed raced like an old pro Friday afternoon, driving to a convincing victory in the AAA Insurance 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Dover International Speedway in his Red Bull Racing Toyota Tundra. It was Speed's first NCTS victory and the second week in a row that a rookie winner took the checkers, following Donny Lia's victory last week at Mansfield (Ohio) Motorsports Park. And it was the third NCTS race in a row to be taken by a first-time winner, as Matt Crafton won at Lowe's Motor Speedway a week before Lia's victory. Speed, the former Formula 1 driver, didn't look like he was going to figure in the mix early on despite qualifying fourth. And he entered the race with only five prior NCTS starts at one of the least forgiving tracks in all of NASCAR. Starting on the front row were the Bill Davis Racing Toyotas of Mike Skinner and Johnny Benson, but by the end of Lap 1, Kyle "Rowdy" Busch quickly wheeled by both Benson and Skinner and rapidly put the front-row starters well behind him.
