truck series gets a gal....Caitlin Shaw set to debut with Red Horse Racing’s
Truck team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at
Shaw will be driving the No. 1 entry.
“It’s such a huge accomplishment for me to be able to compete in the Truck series,” she said. “Driving in NASCAR has always been a goal of mine, and it’s exciting to see some of the hard work paying off. I can’t wait to get on the track, especially at O’Reilly Raceway Park. It’s a great opportunity that Toyota and Red Horse have made possible for me. I consider ORP to be one of my home tracks because I’ve been there testing and racing so often with the Midget it just feels like home.
“I think that will help me to focus on running with the other trucks and earning respect from the veteran drivers.”

Formula-1 Champ may give NASCAR a try
Reigning F1 champion Lewis Hamilton may want to give America’s number one stock car racing sport a try.
The 24-year-old Briton told a British newspaper that he’s interested in racing other forms of the world’s premier motorsports. Reigning F1 champion Lewis Hamilton may want to give America’s number one stock car racing sport a try. (AP Photo/Gero Breloer)
Hamilton who currently drives for McLaren, which gets support from Mercedes-Benz, said he would first like to try the 24 Hours of LeMans.
"If Mercedes-Benz wants to go to Le Mans one day and take me, I'll do that," Hamilton said. "I'd love to try a MotoGP bike but not particularly race one. I would love to try one of Malcolm Wilson's rally cars -- and one day I might try NASCAR.”
One thing he did rule out was trying to race an Indianapolis 500.
"To do the Indy 500 you have to be going at it. It would be unreasonable for me to expect to get in the car and go and win it,” he said "You have to have a good season in that kind of thing so I don't have any particular desire to do that."
The last F1 Champ to race in NASCAR was Jacques Villeneuve. His effort failed when sponsorship money dried up. He is however scheduled to enter the NASCAR Nationwide race in Montreal in August in a one-race deal.
