Crawford will make his 324th start extending a Series record his weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Crawford's impressive string of race starts began at the Walt Disney World Speedway on January 19, 1997.
Crawford's Thoughts on AMS: Atlanta is one of the fastest tracks on the Camping World Truck Series schedule, and it usually provides some of the most exciting racing for the fans. The truck that runs around there wide open the longest is going to be the one to beat. This is a special weekend for Circle Bar Racing, and we'e taking our best piece to the track for the organization's 325th start. When we started this deal in 1997, we had only one truck and one engine. Through hard work and determination, we have grown Circle Bar Racing into a mainstay in the truck series. We've been very loyal to the series. It hasn't been the easiest task, but Mr. Mitchell has given us all the tools necessary to succeed and the rewards have been plenty. It's quite a commitment by the Mitchell family, and I consider myself lucky to have been with Mr. Mitchell for 14 years of truck racing."
