RICK CRAWFORD AT
NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY
The Circle Bar/International Truck and Engine team will utilize chassis CB-17 this weekend
at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Chassis CB-17 has visited victory lane on two separate
occasions: at ORP in 2006 and at Loudon in 2005. Prepared for its third consecutive week of
on-track action, this is the same truck that was raced last weekend in St. Louis – leading 15
laps en route to a 10
th
-place finish –and two weeks ago at Iowa Speedway (17
th
). It also has
been raced earlier this year ORP at Indianapolis (11
th
), Memphis Motorsports Park (11
th
), The
Milwaukee Mile (12
th
) and Martinsville Speedway (5
th
).
Despite his 10
th
-place finish last weekend at Gateway Int’l Raceway, Crawford slipped one
position to ninth place in the driver point standings; however, he closed the gap to the leaders
and is 87 points out of the top five and 573 points out of the lead.
Crawford scored his fourth career Camping World Truck Series victory at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway in 2005, winning from the fifth starting position (26 laps led).
Crawford has completed the most laps of any driver in truck series competition at NHMS
(2,293), and has been running at the finish in 11 of 12 races at the 1.058-mile oval.
In the previous six truck series races at NHMS, Crawford has accrued the most points of any
driver (838).
In 315 career Camping World Truck Series starts, Crawford has posted 155 top-10 finishes –
a mark of 49.2%.
In his truck series career, Crawford has been running at the finish of 285 races, the most of
any driver in the series and a mark of 90.5%.
Crawford has logged over 54,000 miles in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
competition, the most of any driver in series history.
Crawford will make his 316
th
start – extending a Series record – this weekend at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway. Crawford’s impressive string of race starts began at the Walt
Disney World Speedway on January 19, 1997.

Crawford’s Thoughts on NHMS:
“May hat’s off to the guys in the Circle Bar fab shop that put in some long hours this
week fixing this truck after the late-race incident in St. Louis last week. We basically rebuilt
this truck after Iowa, and it paid off last week by running up front and leading some laps.
Unfortunately, we got caught up in someone else’s mess at the end, but this truck is a proven
winner and we’re hoping to recapture some of the magic that took us to victory lane at New
Hampshire in 2005.”
