you think nascar has "truck" racing

after seeing this news entry on autoblog, I remembered that back in Germany my dad used to watch truck racing all the time. Not the kind of truck racing you can see in the video on autoblog, but actual races against other trucks. and i mean REAL trucks, not what nascar calls "trucks"

check it out:

I'd never pay to see a NASCAR race but big rigs on a road course, I'm so there!

It's a huge twist on NASCAR. Not only can they drive in a circle in a car, they can do it in a truck. I'm amazed!

This is why America will never get respect from the rest of the world in the area of racing. Everyone else can turn left. It has nothing to do with the fans. It's the fact that every professional driver abroad turns left and right. I guarantee that NASCAR drivers have one shoulder bigger than the other because of this.

anybody else think he needs stickier tires in the rear? that truck just about takes up the entire road, and he is still sliding it around. i must say thats one brave driver. im impressed... and would so do it myself.
