Chrissy Wallace making hometown debut: Germain Racing driver Chrissy Wallace is making a different kind of homecoming than she's ever made before. The 20-year old daughter of NASCAR driver Mike Wallace is making her first trip to Gateway Int'l Raceway. "I'm excited to race at Gateway, it's pretty much a home track to the Wallace brothers (my dad, and my uncles Kenny and Rusty). I've heard the track has a difficult line and I know I'll need to work on learning it. With the way that Germain Racing has run there, I know the Germain Toyota will be well prepared and I expect the #03 Tundra team to go to Gateway and run well," said Wallace.

Did anyone happen to watch the truck race and see how she done? According to Nascar.com she came in 19th and wasn't laps down or anything so I'm guessing she done ok.
Dodge to pull financial support for Trucks in 2009
Dodge to pull financial support for Trucks in 2009

RICHMOND, Va. -- The slumping economy's impact on NASCAR is growing.
Once the powerhouse in the Craftsman Truck Series, Dodge plans to stop providing financial support to that series next year, senior manager Mike Delahanty of Dodge Motorsports said.
The change was first reported by ESPN.
Delahanty said Dodge teams in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series would not be affected.
The manufacturer won 46 of 99 races from 2001-04, and has claimed championships in the Truck Series with Bobby Hamilton in 2004 and Ted Musgrave the following season.
Only two teams are racing full-time in Dodges in the Truck Series this season, and one of those, driven by Jason White, has been without financial help from the maker all season. Dodge has one victory this season, by Dennis Setzer in the No. 18 of Bobby Hamilton Racing-Va.

A change on the #2 truck? Word around the Craftsman Truck Series garage was that Jack Sprague could be out at Kevin Harvick Inc. at the end of the season. Former motocross rider and current Camping World East Series driver Ricky Carmichael was floated as a possible replacement.(TheNascarInsiders.com)(9-14-2008)

Tracy testing with Germain at Chicagoland UPDATE 3: One-race deal; switch from LVMS to Texas: Open-wheeler Paul Tracy, who made his NASCAR debut in NASCAR's #2 series in 2006, will return to the oval-track for a one-day test at Chicagoland Speedway on Wednesday, May 28th. While this will be Tracy's first experience in a truck, he is known as one of the most cerebral wheelmen in the business and he will adapt quickly. Versatility is a trademark of the 2003 Champ Car World Series Champion, as Tracy has raced open-wheel cars, Grand-Am cars, NASCAR, and off-road trucks, all in the last two years. (Player Mgmt.

UPDATE: Possibility for 09? It was just an engine test with a driver currently out of work, as the 40-year-old Canadian has been unsuccessful in attempts to land a ride in the new unified IndyCar Series. Then again, it's perhaps the most interesting pairing of a former open-wheel driver with a truck team. "We haven't talked about specifics -- it's been more about maybe trying to think about that next year," team owner Bob Germain said. "Though if we saw something come together, you're so much further ahead if you can run some races this year to get everybody familiar with each other. But realistically, we've got a lot on our plate right now. We won't rule out the possibility we'd do that, but this process just started." This week, Tracy's goals were modest: namely, to get acclimated to a race truck and to provide some feedback for the #30 team. Bodine tested all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning, then got to pass the wheel and rest for Friday's race at Dover.(ESPN.com)(5-30-2008)
UPDATE 2: A few weeks ago, Paul Tracy tested Todd Bodine's truck at Chicagoland Speedway and impressed Bob Germain enough to get a one-off deal. Tracy will drive the Germain Racing Toyota on September 20 at Las Vegas. "Paul did a nice job so we got a little bit if support and decided it would be fun to run him in his hometown," said Germain, who along with his two brothers owns 19 car dealerships in Ohio and Florida. "We're going to run Chrissie full-time in the trucks next year and we've got another year for sure with Mike (sponsored by Geico)," said Germain. "I know Todd would like to run the Nationwide series and we've got about a dozen different possibilities we'll be looking at. "And running Paul full-time in the trucks is one of those."(Robin Miller- SPEED/TV)(6-19-2008)
UPDATE 3: Canadian open-wheel star Paul Tracy will drive a Germain Racing Toyota Oct. 31 at Texas Motor Speedway, not at his current hometown Las Vegas Motor Speedway as previously planned. A Texas-based sponsor was the catalyst behind the move.(ESPN.com)(9-12-2008)
