The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series comes to the ultra-fast and competitive California Speedway for round 2 of the 2007 season. The wide racing surface and sweeping banked turns provide ample racing room for two- and even three-wide racing. The 200-mile race should offer some great side-by-side racing, and will be the first glimpse at what we can expect the racing to be like at the intermediate tracks which make up a sizeable portion of the schedule.

Here is a look at who to watch and what to watch for at California Speedway:

A.J. Allmendinger, No. 00 Red Bull Toyota: Allmendinger had a rough week in Daytona, missing the field for the Daytona 500 and languishing mid-pack in the Truck Series race. He seemed to struggle in practice at California, and could find it a tough task to race into the top-15.

Aaron Fike, No. 1 RFMS/Red Horse Racing Toyota: Fike showed composure by running up front at Daytona, and carried that momentum to a solid performance in practice at California. The Toyotas have been strongest on intermediate tracks, and riding in a Tundra will help Fike. If things go the right way, a top ten could happen.

Kevin Harvick, No. 2 Camping World/RVs.com Chevrolet: For the first time ever, the Daytona 500 winner will make his next NASCAR start in the Truck Series. Even spending the afternoon in the back half of the field in practice Harvick's post-500 smile is still very much present. Look for this team to hit the combination come race time and be a contender.

Chase Miller, No. 4 Open Joist/Dodge Motorsports Dodge: Miller "tried to go through the wall" last week in Daytona, but is feeling no ill effects of his spectacular accident. Miller is as fast as anyone, but is learning where the edge is week after week. Fontana can be a little more forgiving than Daytona, but can still jump up and bite. If he doesn't go over the edge, Miller could be a contender for a top ten.

Mike Skinner (David M. Vaughn Photo)

Mike Skinner, No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota: Skinner was near the front during practice, which means two things: he will be a serious threat for the pole in qualifying and he will be a threat to win the race. Crew chief Jeff Hensley is as aggressive with setups as Skinner is on the track, and it's bitten them here in the past. But if they hit on it, the field will have a hard time keeping Skinner in their sights.

Travis Kvapil, No. 6 RoushFenwayRacing.com Ford: Kvapil won the pole in his last Truck race here, but wrecked in happy hour after a tire went down and had to come from the back. He's with the team that won this race last year, so combined with his ability to get around here, Kvapil could again be the favorite to win.

Casey Kingsland, No. 7 Hooters Energy Drink Chevrolet: Kingsland has no previous experience at California, and spent the afternoon practice sessions getting the feel of the track. Crew chief Gary Showalter has been here for every previous Truck Series race at California Speedway, and if Kingsland is up to it Showalter will help him continuously improve throughout the weekend.

Blake Bjorklund (VPS Motorimages Photo)

Blake Bjorklund, No. 8 MRD/Haas CNC Racing Chevrolet: Bjorklund ran a steady race last week before finding himself in the midst of someone else's problems. The wide California layout should allow him more racing room, and we'll start to see what last year's ARCA rookie of the year can do in a Truck.

Ted Musgrave, No. 9 Team ASE Toyota: Musgave won three consecutive Truck races at California from 2001 through 2003. He was quick in the final practice, and this could be the week when things finally fall into place and he scores his first win with Germain Racing.

David Starr, No. 10 MaxxForce Diesel Ford: Starr didn't get the start to the season that he wanted, but the persistent Starr smile is still there. He showed some speed in practice, and could be a factor come race time. He's seemed to gel with Dennis Connor and the entire Circle Bar team. Starr could be a solid top ten runner.

Willie Allen (Team PR Photo)

Willie Allen, No. 13 ThorSport Racing Chevrolet: Allen's team loves that they have a driver that gets up on the wheel. Allen was working that wheel big time in practice as the truck jumped loose on him and get scrubbed the wall. No significant damage, but the rain limited how much track time the Raybestos Rookie challenger got. If he finds his line, he could race his way to a top-15.

Rick Crawford, No. 14 Ford Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford: Crawford already has his eye on the big picture. He won't be points racing any time soon, but running up front means points take care of themselves. Crawford's run well here in the past, and he looks solid again this week. Unless problems out of his control prevent it, Crawford should come away with a top ten.

Bill Lester, No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports Chevrolet: Lester wasn't at the top of the charts at Fontana, but he wasn't necessarily the quickest in Daytona either. Richie Wauters is never too far off the mark, look for this team to be closer to the front tomorrow evening.

Kelly Bires, No. 16 Melling Engine Parts Ford: With Mark Martin in his normal ride, Bires slides over to wheel for Dave Fuge and Xpress Motorsports. For a rookie still learning the ropes, even one race with a guy as experienced as Fuge will pay dividends.

Ken Schrader (David M. Vaughn Photo)

Ken Schrader, No. 18 Fastenal Dodge: After a short night in Daytona, Schrader wants to get a good run under his belt to get momentum on his side and show everyone that even with all going on in their world, Bobby Hamilton Racing can still get it done.

Mark Martin, No. 21 Bad Boy Mowers Ford: Martin is the defending race winner, and although he's in a different truck he's again flexing his muscle. He led the final session and said he has a piece he can race with. The rest of the field might just be racing for second.

Johnny Benson, No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota: After playing wingman on the final lap last week, Benson owes no one any favors here this week. He and Trip Bruce are still developing their frame of reference, but being in the top third of the field after practice again shows Benson might be a player at the checkered flag.

Todd Bodine, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota: Bodine has run well here in the past, winning here in 2004. He and the No. 30 team were looking for speed throughout practice. If they find it, he could repeat his winning performance. If they miss it, they could find it tough to crack the top ten.

Ron Hornaday, No. 33 AES HR Solutions Chevrolet: This will be the first real chance for Hornaday and Rick Ren to show how well they will run this season. Hornaday was good on the intermediates last season. Ren should make him even more competitive, so look for Hornaday up front.

Tyler Walker (VPS Motorimages Photo)

Tyler Walker, No. 36 360 OTC Toyota: Walker was swept up in someone else's problems last week, but was running strong when it happened. Walker needs a good finish to get his season back on track, and he has a solid shot to make it happen.

Mike Bliss, No. 40 Curtis Key Plumbing Chevrolet: Bliss ran well last week but was involved in a couple of incidents that eventually sidelined him early. Bliss and Barry Dodson have a history together and that history has continued into the present as the No. 40 looked like a top-15 truck in practice.

Morgan Shepherd, No. 44 Curtis Key Plumbing Chevrolet: Look for Shepherd to start but not stick around very long.

Kraig Kinser, No. 47 Ginn Resorts Chevrolet: Kinser was impressive in practice and looks to shake off a disappointing night in Daytona. Solid pit stops are needed to help keep track position, but it looks like he may have a truck that could help pick up spots if needed too.

Carl Edwards (David M. Vaughn Photo)

Carl Edwards, No. 50 Roush Racing Ford: Edwards has never finished worse than sixth in a Cup car at California, so he should be strong in the Truck too. He looked good in practice and was all smiles in the garage afterwards. Edwards will factor in the race, and not just as a drafting partner like he was forced to be last week.

Terry Cook, No. 59 Harris Trucking Toyota: Cook made every highlight reel in the country last week with a fiery crash. Cook would be satisfied with a non-spectacular top ten, and it looks like his Danny Rollins-led crew has given him a truck that can do it. Getting on and off pit road will be key.

Jack Sprague, No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota: Sprague is riding the highest of highs after a win in Daytona. In the previous 12 years, only one driver has ever opened the season by winning the first two races of the season; Sprague looks to match Mark Martin's feat from last year. If practice is any indication, and it often is, he has a good chance at making it happen.

Dennis Setzer, No. 75 Spears Manufacturing Chevrolet: Setzer has had some success on the intermediates in the past, winning in 2005 at Michigan which is the sister track to California. A win here would be a big deal for one of the series charter owners Wayne Spears.

Brendan Gaughan (VPS Motorimages Photo)

Brendan Gaughan, No. 77 South Point Chevrolet: Gaughan and his team have changed everything but the number and the paint job after practice looking for speed. If their changes work, Gaughan could be a factor. If not, look for Gaughan to gamble and take chances to find a way to get to the front.

Matt Crafton, No. 88 Menards/Quaker State Chevrolet: Crafton is a California native and has run well in front of the home crowd in the past. The ThorSport intermediate program has been top-10 quality the past couple of years and he should be in the mix once again.

Wayne Edwards, No. 95 NRG Gasses Ford: Edwards has had a long week just getting here. Getting in the race is not in question this week. How long he lasts might be a question mark, but if he makes it to the end, attrition could help him break into the top 25.

Erik Darnell, No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford: Everyone is on the "when will Darnell win" watch. As strong as his team is, it could be any time. Darnell is as loose and relaxed as he's been, and when drivers reach that comfort level is when wins usually start to come. There could be three Roush trucks at the front, and Darnell's could very well be at the head of the pack.
