Matt Crafton looks to pick up where he left off a few weeks ago in Saturday night's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Ford Built Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway.

Following a schedule break, the NCTS resumes under the lights at the 1.5 mi. track, and Crafton continues his pursuit of a magical season.

"I'm chomping at the bit to get back on the track," Crafton said.  "It's tough to be away from it for a couple of weeks.  It's extra important that we have a strong run at Kentucky to reaffirm our momentum and get back in stride.  I love racing at Kentucky…the track is fast and wide, and you have plenty of room to pass no matter where you are on the track.  And anytime you race under the lights, it adds extra excitement and anticipation for the drivers and fans.  We're ready to go."

Crafton is aiming for his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship.  He is 2nd in the NCTS standings, and had 6 top-5 finishes in the season's first dozen races, highlighted by his first NCTS win at Charlotte.  He finished 3rd at Memphis before the break.  The veteran driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet is happy with his start, but far from satisfied. 

"We have a long way to go, and we're not even thinking about a championship," he said.  "Things can change real quickly in this series.  Our focus is on trying to finish in the top-5 every week and competing for wins.  We know that if we are able to do that, good things are in store for us.  We have to give everything we have each time out, and avoid mistakes and continue to find ways to improve.  You have to earn everything you get in this series, and we understand that.  Hopefully we can finish strong at Kentucky and keep things rolling."
