Size matters. In the case of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, one of its best attributes is its size. The Truck races are shorter than those in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. So's the Truck season, which weighs in at just 25 points races, vs. 36 for the Cup boys and 35 for the Nationwide Series. With shorter races and a shorter season, it's no coincidence that most rational people believe that the racing in the Truck Series is as good, if not actually better, than in any of NASCAR's top divisions. Even though the Cup series has a 10-race playoff, the truckers unquestionably put together a much more compelling and closer championship battle last year than the Chase for the Sprint Cup turned out to be. In the Truck Series, smaller is beautiful.
