Indianapolis – (August 9, 2004) The drivers of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck

racing capital of the world (Indianapolis) over the weekend.

oval at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Friday and Saturday for Kroger Speedfest,
while the Nextel Cup racers visited the famed 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor
Speedway for the 11th annual Brickyard 400.
On Friday, the Ringers teams of Orleans Racing and SS Racing (regularly an
