MUSGRAVE: Returns to Nasvhille Hunting Elusive Victory
TruckSeries.com Report Printer Version 

  Discuss



Ted Musgrave has had tremendous success at Nashville Superspeedway - he has six top-five finishes and seven top-ten finishes in his seven career starts at the 1.33-mile concrete D-shaped oval. With that type of success in his back pocket, he's looking forward to returning to Nashville to get his season back on the right track.

With all of the success you've had at Nashville you have to always look forward to this race on the schedule. Will it help get your season back on the right track this year? "I sure hope it does. There's just something about Nashville that I like. It was on the schedule the first time in 2001 which was my first year in the series. I've been competitive there every year we've been there. If there is a track that we go to that I know what it takes to get around it's Nashville. It's no secret we've had some struggles the past few weeks but we've made some changes within the team and I think it's going to help make us better. I'll know once we get out on the track if the truck has that feel I am looking for."

Is Nashville a track that evens out some of the bad luck you've had at other tracks? "I have always run well at Nashville. It seemed every time I went there I knew I had a chance to run in the top two or three and have a shot to win the race. At some tracks we go to I've run well but never had a top-five finish because something would happen and ruin our day late in the race. It's always seemed that Nashville was the exact opposite. We could run seventh or eighth all day long and late in the race something would happen and we'd end up in the top-five."

What do you remember about the 2006 race when it looked like your top-five streak was about to end and you ended up fourth? "It looked like we were going to end up about sixth, which is still a good finish but we had been up in the top three every other time we'd been to Nashville. I had just about come to grips with the fact we weren't going to get a top-five and the streak would be over when the leaders got together on the last lap and they all started wrecking all over the place. I put the truck on the bottom lane and came through it all in one piece. The top-five streak ended last year but I've never been outside the top-ten at Nashville. It's just a track that has been very good to me. I hope that carries on this year, we need to get this team back into the top-ten and start collecting some good finishes."

Ted's Nashville Stats: In seven career starts, Ted has six top-five finishes and seven top-ten finishes. His best finish is second in 2001, 2003, and 2005. He has completed 1,052 of 1,052 possible competition laps (100%). His average start is 8.4 and his average finish is 3.4.

Ted's Nashville Truck: The truck Ted will race at Nashville is chassis No. 15, the same truck that the team has raced on all 1.5-mile tracks throughout 2008
