Chassis No. 11. The truck has posted nine 90.3% of the 12 career wins for Billy Ballew Motorsports. Chassis No. 11 was last run at Michigan International Speedway by Kyle Busch, who finished second in the event. “I’m excited to be back in a Camping World Truck,” Travis Kvapil said. “I’ve had a lot of success in the Series and at Nashville where I won the last time I raced there in a truck. I’m just glad to be back in the seat. Bristol, in March, was the last time I’ve driven this year and I’m looking forward to getting back to racing.” “Nashville is a unique, big one and one-third-mile (1 1/3) track with tight corners. It’s emphasized from the concrete surface of the track, making it hard to grip. You need to have a good handling truck to do well at Nashville. Billy Ballew’s trucks are capable of winning every week and I’d like to leave Nashville this week with a second guitar.” Nashville Superspeedway presents the winner of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race with a Gibson guitar hand painted artist Sam Bass.

The Toyota Tundra 200 (150 lap, 200 mile) NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event is slated to begin Saturday, August 1, 2009
