| NOTES: |
|
The North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is
the fifth race on the 2013 Camping World Truck Series schedule.
Justin Lofton won last year's truck race at Charlotte. Lofton grabbed the lead
from Brad Keselowski after a restart with 10 laps remaining when Ron Hornaday
Jr. bumped Keselowski from behind and shoved him down the track, allowing
Lofton to slip by. He went on to beat Keselowski at the finish by 0.26 seconds
for his first victory in his 55th career start in the series.
Kyle Busch holds the record for most truck wins at Charlotte with four. Busch
won back-to-back races there from 2005-06 and again from 2010-11. He did not
compete in last year's event.
Hornaday is the only other driver with multiple truck victories at Charlotte
(2007 and '09).
Busch is the only driver who has won from the pole position at this track
(2010).
Matt Crafton and David Starr are those drivers who have competed in all 10
truck races at Charlotte. Crafton is the current points leader and winner of
the most recent event on April 20 at Kansas Speedway. His first career victory
in the series came at Charlotte in 2008.
The next race is the May 31 Lucas Oil 200 at Dover International Speedway.
Todd Bodine won there last year.
