Truck series

[mghtx]

I think the truck series is in serious trouble. The news of Roush Fenway leaving is not a good sign. The cost of racing and lack of sponsorship money is a killer for many teams. Even start and parking isn't paying off.

The economy isn't better than at the start of the season...I would say it's worse. It's not gonna turn around anytime soon. Companies don't have the money to sponsor anybody like before and people have less and less extra money to go to races.

While I also think the NW series is hurting too, it's in better shape than the truck series. For now. It's a very sad thing to see.

True. Very sad. IMO the best racing of the three series.

It does suck whats happening. Its some of the best racing out there right now too.
I think maybe having a few more Wed night prime time races would maybe help ratings (and then maybe attract more sponsors) Just a thought.

It would be a shame to cancel out the rest of next years season a cpl races in due to no money! But I would bet there would be one reporter (who will not be named...cause Moody wouldn't say) that would be calling a certain show to let everyone know he/she was right.

Didn't Nascar shut down a series not long ago due to no money?

I remember all the talk last year during the off season and then at the beginning of this season about things being bad. And here we are going into the off season again and it's no where near getting better.

This next season we may see what some feared would happen this season. But time will tell.

I hope not, the truck series has the most exciting races of the 3 series.

If they want to save the truck series they need to get it back to where they started. Get back on the short tracks. Do that and maybe some of the young drivers can actually learn how to race.

This blog/article made me feel a little better about the trucks.

The Frontstretch: Did You Notice? ... NASCAR's Burning To The Ground, And Why The Truck Series Stays Sound by Thomas Bowles -- Wednesday November 4, 2009

"Richard Childress Racing is now expected to field not one but two trucks in 2010, joining Turner Motorsports and fully-sponsored DGM Racing fielding competitive entries in the coming season. With just one full-time team expected to go away (Roush Fenway Racing), "

Roush/Fenway out, RCR doubled :shock:

The truck series is more even across the board than any of the other series

I sure hope to see them and NW in Nashville next year.
