Going NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racing is a humbling business. One minute you’re leading the race, the next minute a flat tire or an errant fender puts you in the wall at 180 miles per hour and you’re finishing 35th. Lately, prognosticating about the Truck Series hasn’t been much easier. Really, who would have ever predicted Matt Crafton, Donny Lia and Scott Speed as the last three NCTS winners? Put it this way: If you did actually pick those three guys to win over the last three weeks, quit your day job and hop the first plane to Vegas. Seriously, these were upsets of major proportions, which has made for the least predictable season in years. And the most interesting, as the top eight drivers in the NCTS points standings are separated by a mere 68 markers. This week, the truck series drivers head to the ultra-fast, 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway oval, site of Friday night’s Sam’s Town 400, race No. 10 of 25 on the year. And anytime the NCTS boys are the grand state of Texas, the discussion starts with Todd Bodine and the powerhouse Lumber Liquidators No. 30 Toyota Tundra campaigned by Germain Racing. “The Onion” is the defending race champion, having captured four of the last seven truck races at Texas. Bodine loves fast 1.5-mile tracks and has terrorized the competition here of late.

After three consecutive first-time winners in the last three NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, the usual suspects reasserted themselves Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway, as defending series champion Ron Hornaday Jr. captured the Sam's Town 400. Hornaday and his Kevin Harvick Inc.-owned Camping World Chevrolet held off Kyle Busch's Miccosukee Resorts Toyota through a green-white-checkered finish. Johnny Benson finished third in his Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Tundra, ahead of Jack Sprague's Road Loans Chevy. "All these years, all these races that he's dominated, but it was the first time he won (at Texas)," said Hornaday's crew chief, Rick Ren after seeing the three-time NCTS champ win his 35th race of his career and retake the points lead."
