The Xfinity Series has the next couple of weeks off but the Craftsman Truck Series kicks off a doubleheader weekend at Kansas Speedway with the Heart of Health Care 200.

Just 31 teams brought trucks to Kansas including William Byron and Carson Hocevar getting behind the wheel.

Truck numbers 88, 98, 99, and 26 all failed the pre-race inspection process twice.  As a result, the truck chiefs for each team has been ejected for the weekend.  In addition the teams will loose their pit stall selection next week at North Wilkesboro.  Both the Craftsman Truck and Xfinity Series have their pit stall selections based on the previous race’s qualifying results.
