Spade Racing's 2013 Nascar Camping World Truck Series Preview



For reasons unbeknownst to anyone besides Brian France (and Brian's friends on the Selena Gomez fan site message board), the Truck Series schedule contains a nearly two-month break between its first and second races.  Ideas such as making the first race a non-points event, or moving the Las Vegas race from the fall to the spring, were all denounced as "Making too much sense".  So anyways, here's a look at this year's competitors, along with how they plan to spend their time off.

(Listed in Numerical Order)

1 Dusty Davis (Accell Construction)--Plans to spend his time off figuring out how to say "Rick Ware Racing" correctly, and not like "Wick Ware Wacing".

4 Jeb Burton (Arrowhead)--Plans to spend his time off figuring out if his sponsor--the electronic cigarette of the future--is made by the same people who make Dippin' Dots--the ice cream of the future.
