oldest truck the team has.  Ran only Daytona this year, where it broke a

gaining weight because we kept adding bars and adding a little more paint on
it too many times.  We had to keep taking lead out of it.  Lead makes it
better, but this one didn¹t have a lot of lead in it, but it¹s still a good,
old truck," says Crafton.
