Kyle Busch won a Camping World Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway for a record-extending fifth time after he bounced back from a pit road mistake in Friday night's North Carolina Education Lottery 200.
"I need to get back to racing, so I can get some rest," Crafton jokingly said. "I'm always excited to go to the racetrack. But usually you go to the racetrack and you don't get much sleep, because you're worried about everything the night before the race. You think about everything. This week, I'm excited to get to the racetrack, so I can get some sleep."
Matt Crafton snapped a 39-race winless streak in the Camping World Truck Series after surviving a rash of accidents and then holding off Joey Coulter in the final laps of Saturday's SFP 250 at Kansas Speedway.
"There's no question the season hasn't started off the way our team was hoping," Buescher said. "It's not because we haven't run well. I feel like we are always in contention for a win, but we've just been bitten by some bad luck so far and don't have the end result to show for it."
NASCAR penalized Camping World Truck Series driver Ron Hornaday Jr. with a loss of 25 points, a $25,000 fine and probation until June 12 for wrecking Darrell Wallace Jr. during a caution in last Sunday's race at Rockingham Speedway.
Kyle Larson became a first-time race winner in the Camping World Truck Series with a dominating performance in Sunday's North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Rockingham Speedway.
"This is great to start the year off with two in a row," Sauter said after his win at Martinsville. "We still have 20 races left, and there's a lot that can happen. We need to keep focused and take it all in stride."
Johnny Sauter won his second straight NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race after passing Jeb Burton for the lead on a late-race restart in Saturday's Kroger 250 at Martinsville Speedway.
Sauter won the spring race at Martinsville in 2011. He followed up with a fourth-place finish here later that year. But Sauter has finished 14th and 29th at this track since then.
Johnny Sauter kicked off the 2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season by winning Friday night's NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
