NASCAR: Top Five Teams Who Should Join the Truck Series

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is in need of some new teams. Could the series look inside stock car racing for more upcoming entrants?

Recent times have seen discussions surrounding NASCAR focus on the negative direction of the sport overall. Attendance is declining at many races, and television ratings are falling as well. With these declines have come drops in car and truck counts, with some races not have a full field of drivers racing. The issues surrounding the Camping World Truck Series have been well documented too.

Series officials have been eagerly looking for ways to cut costs and lure in more money to all three of NASCAR’s top divisions. This includes the recent idea of running spec engines in the Truck Series as early as 2018, and the introduction of composite bodies to the Xfinity Series. But perhaps the issues cannot be solved by the NASCAR brass, but by the teams themselves.

There are a plethora of teams that have competed in the two decades plus that trucks have raced. Many Cup Series teams once ran teams there, only to leave once the series took off and refocused on the premier level. Perhaps it is time to bring back some of these old organizations, or even welcome some new faces to the crowd of Camping World Truck Series teams.
