By Adam Carabine

Happy weekend everyone, you might be familiar with the Cup Series’ Stats Saturday article, but this year we are branching it out to the Top 3 Series.  It’s now time for another Truck Stats Thursday. This weekend the Craftsman Truck Series travels to San Diego, California for the Navy 250 at the Coronado Street Course, also known as the Qualcomm Circuit.

This is the first year that NASCAR has done this race, and it is a brand-new track that is being built for this event.  The circuit is planned to be 3.4 miles long, featuring 19 turns.  Since this is the first event here, the historic stats are limited, but we can still look at how things will shape up this weekend in San Diego.

Friday’s race will be 50 laps long (for a total of 170 miles), with stage breaks occurring at 12 – 24 – 50.  The fuel window is unknown at this point.  Pit road speed is 40 mph, while the Caution Car runs at 45 mph. 

This year, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series has run 1,745 laps, for 2,382.40 miles so far this season.  No driver has completed all of them, but Chandler Smith is the closest, only 3 laps behind.

San Diego is a Road Course.
