Veteran racer Ted Musgrave won the 2005 NASCAR Craftsman Truck championship this morning at Homestead Miami Speedway. The race was rained out last night and was held at 8:30AM this morning. David Reutimann in the #17 NTN Bearings Toyota owned by Darrell Waltrip won the pole but transmission problems had him drop out of the race early. Todd Bodine continued his hot streak in the #30 Germain Toyota owned by Don Arnold. He dominated the race and won his third race out of the last four. If Bodine drives that truck for the entire 2006 season, he should be a favourite to win the championship. Dennis Setzer finished 16th and Ted Musgrave finished 20th and that was good enough to give Musgrave & truck owner Jim Smith their first NASCAR championship. Congratulations ro them.
Ryan Newman won the pole in the #39 Alltel Dodge owned by Roger Penske in today's NASCAR Busch series finale. Championship leader Martin Truex Jr. crashed on his qualifying run and he will start in the back of the field. Clint Bowyer is second in the standings and he is starting in the top ten. Truex has to get to the front to clinch his second championship so it should be very interesting. The race is being shown in Canada on tape delay tonight on Rogers Sportsnet. They were showing poker this afternoon! Don't ask me why.
Championship contender Carl Edwards won the pole for tomorrow's Nextel Cup finale. Tony Stewart starts 20th & Jimmie Johnson starts 32nd. This race will be on NBC Sunday 3PM.
