Camping World RV Sales 200 Preview

Tonight at 8:30 ET on SPEED, the Camping World RV Sales 200 will take place in Milwaukee. This Craftsman Truck event will kick off the exciting week in NASCAR.

The drivers have not qualified yet, so I'll get you the results when they do.

Milwaukee is a track with a lot of history, being the oldest in the USA. Milwaukee is a short oval that is mostly straight, making it a pretty fun place to race. The straightaways are long, making it easier for drivers to recover coming off the tricky turns. The key to this race is to stay focused and patient, as wrecking can come easily. The drivers with the good cars will be the ones at the top, as passing isn't too difficult.

Even though he hasn't won yet this season, Johnny Benson currently sits atop the standings, just ahead of Todd Bodine. However, six other drivers could be leading the series after tonight. That's how tight it is.

Ron Hornaday has found some success here and has a good car in practice, so he should be considered a favorite. Benson is probably the heavy one, though, with the status of being the two-time defending champion at the Milwaukee Mile.

Kyle Busch is not in this race as he focuses on running well at Sonoma, with Mike Bliss taking his place.

The most likely drivers to win in this race, in my opinion, are Hornaday, Benson, Erik Darnell, who has a lot of confidence after last week's win at Michigan, and Todd Bodine, a veteran who has done well at Milwaukee in the past.
