Catching Up: The Truck Series


"I know what you're thinking--did I go six laps down or only five?"

No doubt you've been busy lately--what with the holidays, weather changes, false apocalypse and whatnot.  Instead of forcing you to scan typo-riddled Jayski articles, here's a quick rundown of some recently-announced…um, announcements from the Nascar Truck Series:

--Joey "JoJo Junior…Shabadoo?" Coulter has signed with Kyle Busch Motorsports for next season.  Its starting to look more and more like RCR is going to become Legacy Kid Racing.

--Speaking of Legacy Kid Racing, Brendan Gaughan will compete for RCR in the Truck Series next year, with sponsorship from his Daddy.

--Jon Wes Townley moves to Red Wes Horse in 2013, bringing his joined-at-the-hip Zaxby's sponsorship with him.  This displaces Todd Bodine about three years later than it should have.

--Joe Denette Motorsports and NTS Motorsports are merging to form what they call a "powerhouse".  Um, I don't think that any organization with Ron Hornaday playing a major part could be considered a "Powerhouse".

--Jeb Burton joins Turner "No Fans Allowed!" Motorsports for 2013.  Jeb's father Ward will also join the team in a management position, working on what he calls "Dwivah Devewopmen".

-Parker Kligerman is leaving the Truck Series to run full-time in the Nationwide Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports.  Hmmm--Kligerman, Kurt Busch, they're really establishing a dream team of former Penske-affiliated drivers there.  Where's David Stremme when you need him?

--Finally, SS Green Light Racing is looking for a replacement for Ross Chastain, preferably one with watermelon-based sponsorship.
