This will be the last race for the Germain Racing No. 9 team. As the race team expands into Sprint Cup part-time with Max Papis in 2009 and expanding it Nationwide program, it looks like they'll only race the No. 30 truck with Todd Bodine in the CWTS next year.

SM, Thank the Lord JB has a sponsor for championship weekend, especially if he may be the champion!! This was chock full of great information as usual. The CTS race will be the MOST exciting race of any of the series - it all comes down to Homestead yet again!

Thanks appreciate it, MJ. It will be a exciting race thats for sure, nice to see Exide Batteries step up for JB and BDR. I'm going to miss the Trucks, more than Cup and it will be along break waiting for Daytona.

Good job SM. Trucks have become my favorite division over the past couple of years with all of the pagentry that has invaded Cup and the Buschwakers in Nationwide. Thank you for writing the article every week.
On Scott Speed, you are right on. It is an apparent lack of faith on the part of Red Bull to pull him. Let him be the creator of his own fate for next year.

Thanks appreciate it, Heath. Glad you like it, I've enjoyed the Truck Series for many years now, when I joined B/R saw no one was writing about the Series on here, ran some ideas by LJ and jumped right into writing about the Series. Feel free to let me know, if you have ideas to add to it in different sections. So far, I'm going be adding for next season, on the race weekends information on the tracks, and going to create a section on rookie J.R. Fitzpatrick to replace the Speed Bump.
The Rumors, 2009 Team Update, News, Upcoming Races, Top Five Picks and the Point Standings areas will be back of course.
