, Dodge Ram
, Ford F-150, and Toyota Tundra
.
. Jack Sprague
won the pole and would win the race from the pole. On the final lap, Travis Kvapil
, only a few yards short of taking the second consecutive victory at Daytona for the 6 truck, was passed by the Toyota Tundra
s of Sprague on the high side and Johnny Benson
, who had given Sprague a bump, near (but not on) the apron in a three-wide finish reminiscent of the 2003 Daytona race which ironically Kvapil also lost.

Failed to qualify: Wayne Edwards
(#95)
won the pole in the unsponsored Roush Fenway Racing #50 truck. On one of the 2nd from the final restart #33 Ron Hornaday
spun out #21 Mark Martin due to a slow restart, the caution flag was soon waved but not until after #5 Mike Skinner
made the pass for the lead. NASCAR didn't issue any penalties to the #33 team and Mark Martin after the spin ended up finishing 23rd. On the final restart, Skinner held off #33 Ron Hornaday to get his first truck series win since last year at Las Vegas
.

. Mike Skinner
won the pole. In another exciting race for the NCTS, NEXTEL Cup regular Clint Bowyer held the lead on a restart with seven laps to go. While he tried to bunch up the field on a restart, California winner Mike Skinner bumped Bowyer out of the way and went on to win his second consecutive race. Despite the bump and run, Bowyer finished 5th.

Kroger 250
The Kroger 250 was held on April 1 at Martinsville Speedway
. Mike Skinner
won the pole. Mike Skinner would win his third consecutive race and second in a row from pole. Skinner dominated the tiny Martinsville short track, leading 246 laps, easily breaking Rich Bickle
's old record of leading 204 laps en route to victory in 1997.
Top ten results:
Failed to qualify: Bradley Riethmeyer (#49), Brian Sockwell
(#54), Shane Sieg
(#28), Chris Jones (#87), Tim Cowen (#42)
. This race was moved from its traditional July weekend to late April in hopes of cooler temperatures. It was also held in conjunction with the IndyCar Series
' event, the Kansas Indy 300. The race was dominated by 2006 Raybestos Rookie of the Year Erik Darnell
, who would lead 91 of 166 laps en route to his first career NCTS victory. Darnell's win ended the win streak of Mike Skinner
, who started from the pole but had trouble in the pits.
Top ten results:
. Mike Skinner
won the pole. The race saw a classic showdown between truck series veteran Ron Hornaday
and NEXTEL Cup rookie A. J. Allmendinger
. However, the veteran stole the show by passing Allmendinger with 36 laps to go. It looked like Hornaday might coast to victory, but Johnny Benson
, who had already been in controversy during the week, cut a tire with 11 laps to go. However, Hornaday held off Allmendinger and Todd Bodine
to take his first truck victory of the season. The win also gave Chevrolet its first truck win since Texas last year.
Top ten results:
Failed to qualify: Jason White
(#7)
would be able to end his 154 race winless drought by going on an unbelievable no-stop strategy. However, two six hour rain delays held up his goal. Although Crafton had the lead after the delay, he soon lost the top spot to Rick Crawford and would eventually blow out a tire. Crawford, meanwhile, dominated the race, leading the most laps, as his only contenders were rookie Aaron Fike
and "Short Track Slayer" Dennis Setzer
. When it seemed as though Crawford would sail to an easy win, he cut down a tire with 11 laps to go, handing the lead to Setzer. For Setzer, it had been almost 2 years since he last won a race, and for his Spears Racing team, they had not won since Phoenix in 2004. The crafty veteran outlasted the competition on a shocking no stop strategy to win. Second-place finisher Jack Sprague
said that it was unbelievable that Setzer won without pitting.
Top ten results:
Failed to qualify: Kelly Sutton
(#51)
. Mike Skinner
won his sixth consecutive pole. This race was a historic milestone for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, as it was the series’ 300th race. The race featured early attrition, including a six-truck pileup on the first lap involving Cup drivers Clint Bowyer
and Ken Schrader
, along with truck drivers Brendan Gaughan
, Bill Lester
, Erik Darnell
, and Jack Sprague
. From the outset, it appeared as though Kyle Busch
would walk away with another victory at Dover. However, Ron Hornaday
began to catch up to Busch, who was having handling problems. Hornaday would eventually win by 7 seconds over Stacy Compton
.
Top ten results:
Failed to Qualify: none
was held June 8 at Texas Motor Speedway
. Todd Bodine
won the pole, breaking Mike Skinner's six pole streak. The race was action-packed, and fuel mileage and strategy became a factor late in the race. With only a few laps to go, Travis Kvapil, looking for his first NCTS victory since 2004, was leading on a restart when he was bumped by Todd Bodine. Points leader Mike Skinner chased Bodine down but did not have enough for the eventual winner.
Top ten results:
Failed to Qualify: none
. Travis Kvapil
won the pole. The race was dominated by part-time NEXTEL Cup driver Mark Martin, who led for 35 laps before retiring with a blown engine. After Martin's exit, the race lead was handed over to another Cup driver, Kyle Busch
, who appeared to have another truck win in sight but was battling an extremely loose truck. Eventually, after 99 laps of hard racing, polesitter Travis Kvapil
took advantage of Busch's problems and passed him coming to the white flag. Kvapil would hold on to win his first race since 2004.
Top ten results:
Failed to Qualify: #71-Bryan Silas
took place June 22 at the Milwaukee Mile
. Mike Skinner
won the pole. Like most races of the 2007 NCTS season, Mike Skinner dominated the first half of the race, leading 103 laps. However, defending winner Johnny Benson
was looking to jumpstart his season. Benson would eventually pass Skinner just past the halfway mark and would not look back, leading 96 laps en route to his first victory of the season.
Top ten results:
Failed to Qualify: none
was held June 30 at Memphis Motorsports Park
. Brad Keselowski
won his first career pole. Subbing for a suspended Ted Musgrave
, Keselowski had, as race analyst Phil Parsons
called it, "the biggest night of his career". Keselowski was recommended by NASCAR veterans such as Mark Martin and Todd Bodine
. He led the first 20 laps from pole before being passed by veteran Ron Hornaday
. However, as Ron's truck faded, Keselowski's got better and had the truck to beat, with his only competitor being 2002 Memphis winner Travis Kvapil
. Brad was leading with 9 laps to go until Kvapil took advantage of Keselowski's loose truck and unintentionally spun him off at turn 4. Keselowski would end the bittersweet night in 16th. With the polesitter out of contention, the race was in the hands of Kvapil, who held off a hard charging Jack Sprague
to win.

Failed to qualify: none
took place on July 14 at Kentucky Speedway
. Ryan Mathews
won his first career pole. However, it was African American driver Bill Lester
to lead the first lap as Mathews struggled on restarts all night. As a testament to the competitive nature at Kentucky Speedway, there were four lead changes in the first eight laps of the race. The race, like many others, would end up being dominated by Mike Skinner
, who led the field for 135 of 150 laps en route to cruising to his fourth win of the season.

Failed to Qualify: none
took place July 27 at O'Reilly Raceway Park
. Mike Skinner
won the pole as qualifying was rained out and set by owners points.
Top ten results:
took place August 11 at Nashville Superspeedway
. Mike Skinner
won the pole. Skinner dominated the race, leading the first 102 laps. However, multiple encounters with lap traffic hampered his chances for victory, and 2003 NCTS champ Travis Kvapil
took the lead from him on a green flag run. During the final 50 lap stretch, Kevapil held off restart master Ron Hornaday
to take his first win at Nashville. Kvapil later dedicated the race to Bobby Hamilton
who won the race in 2004 en route to his championship.
Top ten results:
was held August 22 at the newly-repaved Bristol Motor Speedway
. Travis Kvapil
won the pole. The resurfacing of BMS would present exciting racing in the 200-lap race. With the old concrete, there was much more single file racing on the bottom groove, but the new progressively banked surface allowed for the use of the outside lane, which had not been used in years. From the start, it seemed as though Kvapil would walk away with another victory. However, crew chief for the #23 Exide Batteries
Toyota, Trip Bruce, had other ideas. Calling his driver, Johnny Benson
, onto pit road on lap 40 with other trucks having pitted on a previous caution, race analyst Michael Waltrip
criticized his plan, writing them out of contention. With 30 to go, however, the entire race would change. NEXTEL Cup
regular Kyle Busch
and Kvapil battled for the lead, but Busch's loose truck caused him to slide into Kvapil, sending them both spinning. This incident handed the lead to a charging Benson. Not even a red flag for a spin by Todd Bodine
could stop "JB" who held off Brendan Gaughan
and defending winner Mark Martin for his second victory in 2007.
Top ten results:
Did not Qualify: #54-Brian Sockwell
was held September 1 at Gateway International Raceway
. Mike Skinner
won the pole. Although Skinner would lead the first 19 laps, his chances of victory would end with a cut right front tire, sending him hard into the wall. Skinner, with his crew, would repair the truck and later return to the race. With Skinner in the garage, the race lead would turn to his championship rival, Ron Hornaday
, who dominated the race. However, fellow contender Johnny Benson
took advantage of Hornaday's loose truck, passing him with 13 laps to go and holding of the "Restart Master" for his second consecutive win, albeit under caution, as Ryan Mathews
crashed on the final lap.
Top ten results:
Did not Qualify: none
. As qualifying was rained out, Ron Hornaday
won the pole based on owners points. From pole, Hornaday crushed the field, leading 174 of 200 laps en route to his second win of the season. Hornaday also became the first repeat NCTS winner at Loudon and extended his points lead over Mike Skinner
by 29 points.
Top ten results:
Failed to Qualify: #03-Sean Caisse
. Travis Kvapil
won the pole. This race marked the historic debut of two open wheel drivers, 1995 Indianapolis 500
winner Jacques Villeneuve
and 1996 Indianapolis 500
winner Buddy Lazier
. This race also highlighted the tight points championship between two former champions in Ron Hornaday
and Mike Skinner
, with Skinner trailing by 29 points. With the new repaved surface, exciting 2 and 3 wide racing was expected. In his debut, Villeneuve impressed many by starting 7th. However, he was involved in an altercation with the #16 of Brian Scott
and would finish 21st. Lazier would also struggle, going down a lap early and finishing 24th. The early run had the typical affair of Todd Bodine
, Travis Kvapil
, Ron Hornaday
, and even Chad McCumbee
running up front. However, trucks such as those of Jon Wood
and Stacy Compton
would later reach the front. Wood, who was running part time in the trucks after an illness, took command of the race, holding off championship contenders such as Johnny Benson
and Kvapil. With Skinner struggling with his truck, it looked like Hornaday would extend his points lead heading into Talladega. However, a blown tire with 11 to go not only erased Hornaday's point lead, but gave Mike Skinner a 3 point advantage. Within the race, the win would come down to the trucks of Jon Wood, Travis Kvapil, and Johnny Benson. Wood exhausted the truck throughout the run and would have nothing left for Kvapil and Benson, settling for 3rd. Benson, going for his fourth win of the season, charged Kvapil from the low line, but Kvapil had enough momentum to hold off Benson for his fourth win of 2007.
Top ten results:
. Todd Bodine
won the pole. Of note, Formula One
world champion Jacques Villeneuve
made another strong statement in qualifying 10th for the race. Tight packs of 2, 3, and even 4 wide racing was anticipated, based on the excitement of the inaugural race in 2006. The championship race between Mike Skinner
, Ron Hornaday
, Travis Kvapil
, and defending champion Todd Bodine
continued to tighten. The pivotal point in the race came on lap 73 as Jack Sprague
, who is in the midst of a difficult year, cut a tire down while leading. Johnny Benson
, who ironically pushed Sprague to the win at Daytona, got into the back of his slowing car, triggering "The Big One". The crash collected contenders Hornaday and Kvapil, although the former was able to rally to a top 10 finish. After the crash, points leader Skinner had problems in the form of a loosened hood pin. The pin eventually broke off and his hood began to flap wildly, prompting NASCAR to black flag him. However, as soon as Skinner was about to pit under green, the truck of Mike Wallace
spun, allowing Skinner to remain on the lead lap. With only two laps to go, the racing became tighter than ever, as Rick Crawford and Benson would use the draft to go three wide with Bodine in the tri-oval, but Crawford would come up short by only 0.014 seconds.
Top ten results:
was held October 20 at Martinsville Speedway
. Defending winner Jack Sprague
won the pole. This race marked the NASCAR debut of 2007 Indianapolis 500
winner and 2007 IndyCar Series
champion Dario Franchitti
. The race would be dominated by Terry Cook
, using a no stop strategy similar to the one Dennis Setzer
used to win earlier in the year at Mansfield Motorsports Speedway
. With huge accidents taking out both Franchitti and Jacques Villeneuve
, and a scary crash involving Tim Sauter
, the race would be decided by a bump. Exiting the second turn with two to go, Sprague tried to pull a bump and run on Cook. It was successful, but it allowed former points leader Mike Skinner
to slip past both drivers and sweep both races at Martinsville.
Top ten results:
was held October 27 at Atlanta Motor Speedway
. Ron Hornaday
won the pole. As the epic points battle between Hornaday and Mike Skinner
continued, the battle would seem to run in favor of Hornaday, who led 51 laps. However, lurking would be the #51 truck of Kyle Busch
, who led the race high of 65 laps. However, before sailing to his second consecutive Atlanta victory, Kyle would have a major problem. For most of the latter half of the race, Busch put on a stellar performance, not only running up front but holding up his window net up with his left hand. In the end, it would be of no use, as NASCAR officials eventually black flagged Busch. Right before he pitted, Busch got a break in the form of a caution. This allowed him to rectify the window net problem and stay in contention. Busch would later pull off the pass of "King of Restarts" Hornaday with 7 laps to go, ironically on a restart. Busch would hold on to become the first Nextel Cup
driver to win a Truck Series race in 2007.
Top ten results:
was held November 2 at Texas Motor Speedway
. Mike Skinner
won the pole. Although the early part of the race would be dominated by Ted Musgrave
, the overall race would primarily be dominated by championship contenders Skinner and Ron Hornaday
, with Skinner leading the most laps at 40. This race also saw the championship hopes of Travis Kvapil
and Todd Bodine
end. As with most Friday night truck races under the lights, the final few laps created a fast and crazy finish. On a restart with 8 to go, Skinner would challenge the Hornaday for the lead on the outside heading onto the backstretch. However, Chad McCumbee
made a bold move on both championship contenders, making it three wide heading into turn 3. As McCumbee took the lead, Hornaday sailed up the racetrack and into Skinner, causing a pileup involving Musgrave, Matt Crafton
, and Erik Darnell
. After the red flag was lifted, McCumbee spun his tires on the green-white-checkered restart. With two-time Texas winner Jack Sprague
right behind him, McCumbee attempted to block Sprague, who subsequently hooked his quarter panel, sending them both into the wall. McCumbee would take 13th place while Sprague got 6th. Avoiding the carnage, Musgrave would take the checkered flag for the first time in 66 races. After the first wreck, polesitter Skinner would amazingly rally to finish third and extend his points lead.
Top Ten Results:
Failed to Qualify: #71-Wayne Edwards
. Mike Skinner
won his record breaking eleventh pole. The Skinner vs. Hornaday title fight would continue here, as controversy was throughout the race. First, Hornaday's teammate/owner, Kevin Harvick
, drove through Skinner's pit stall to get to his pit. Although this is legal, it caused Skinner's entire crew to lose their timing, dropping him out of the top 10. The biggest crash of the night came with only 13 laps left. Jacques Villeneuve
made contact with Stacy Compton
, turning him into the frontstrech wall. Grand-Am driver Andy Lally
was struck by Compton's truck, forcing him hard into the inside barrier, which broke apart. After the subsequent red flag to fix the wall, Kyle Busch
would come into the picture, holding off Hornaday and Mike Bliss
for the win. More controversy would occur outside of the top 5, as Johnny Benson
, Skinner's teammate, passed him late in the race despite the looming championship.
Top Ten Results:
Failed to Qualify: #31-Tim Schendel, #7-Jason White
was held November 16 at Homestead-Miami Speedway
. The championship battle between Mike Skinner
and Ron Hornaday
concluded here. This also kicked off the first of the three days known as "Ford Championship Weekend
". The three-way fight for Rookie of the Year
concluded here, the contestants being Busch Series veteran Tim Sauter
, and short track racers Willie Allen
and Joey Clanton
. Jon Wood
won the pole, setting a new track record with a time of 31.180 at a speed of 173.188 mph. Open wheel export Jacques Villeneuve
continued to show his qualifying expertise, starting third. Championship contenders Skinner and Hornaday started fourth and eighth, respectively.
Skinner would prove to have a difficult race, first having to pit for a flat right side tire and then having a left rear tire come completely off the truck. Due to these problems Skinner would finish 35th, while Hornaday would finish 7th and take the championship. Johnny Benson
would pass Kyle Busch
at the white flag to take his fourth win of '07. Hornaday's championship would tie future teammate Jack Sprague
for most NCTS championships with 3.
Top Ten Results:
Failed to Qualify: #63-Scott Lynch, #86-Kevin Lepage
, #31-Tim Schendel, #7-Jason White
, #71-Bryan Silas
and sprint car driver Willie Allen
. The fight would come down to the final race, where Allen would prevail by nine points over Sauter. Although Joey Clanton
was in contention for the rookie title, he was running only a partial season in the #09. Other contenders, such as Jason White
, Ryan Mathews
, and Blake Bjorklund
also ran partial seasons.

However, a blown tire with 11 to go not only erased Hornaday's point lead, but gave Mike Skinner a 3 point advantage. Within the race, the win would come down to the trucks of Jon Wood, Travis Kvapil, and Johnny Benson. Wood exhausted the truck throughout the run and would have nothing left for Kvapil and Benson, settling for 3rd. Benson, going for his fourth win of the season, charged Kvapil from the low line, but Kvapil had enough momentum to hold off Benson for his fourth win of 2007.
