Matt Crafton's stability and competitiveness is pointed-out by the fact that Daytona will be his 295th consecutive Truck Series start, a string that stretches back to his series debut for ThorSport in the 2000 season finale at his home state's Auto Club Speedway.
At Martinsville Speedway in April Crafton's set to tie the series record of 296 consecutive starts that was set by former ThorSport driver Terry Cook. In addition, Crafton's finished the last six seasons in the top-10 in the standings, including a best of second in 2009. And he's achieved the top-10 in eight of his last nine campaigns as he goes into his 13th consecutive full-time season -- all but one of them, the 2004 season when he raced for fellow Californian and former kart-racing foe Kevin Harvick -- with ThorSport.-ThorSport Racing
