evin Conway and ExtenZe Racing announced that they will attempt to run all three NASCAR national series races NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (no team named or mentioned), NASCAR Nationwide Series (#26 ExtenZe Chevy) and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (#71 ExtenZe Chevy) at Phoenix International Raceway next weekend. Conway has never raced at Phoenix International Raceway, much less competed in NASCAR's top three divisions in one weekend, but he is set to attempt to qualify for his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series debut at the one-mile oval. "I've never been accused of doing things normally," said Conway. "To make my Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series debut at a track that I have never even seen is pretty ambitious but I am excited to have this opportunity with ExtenZe. For ExtenZe Racing to pull this together in such a short amount of time is nothing short of a miracle. Everyone on this ExtenZe team is pumped to give it our best shot in Phoenix." ExtenZe will appear as Conway's primary sponsor in all three races. Together they will attempt to compete in 850 miles of racing at Phoenix International Raceway


Conway in the 04?

Truck seies is some of nascars best product
When was it that Harvick and Robby both drove similar prepared trucks in a short track race? If memory is right, Harvick got a 5th and Robby 6th.
In 2004, Robby finished 4th at Bristol driving the #47 Acxiom Chevy for Rob Morgan while Kevin finished 5th driving the #92 GM Goodwrench Chevy that he owned. Robby's only other top 10 finish in the truck series is at Las Vegas in 1996 when he finished 6th driving the #18 Roehrig Engineering Chevy for Kurt Roehrig.
I remember Robby in the Bristol truck race. He did very well that night.
Wish Robby would do more truck racing, I have no doubt that he would have had several wins by now. But having said that, if you're over 40+ years old and racing trucks full time, that pretty much means you're career is coming to a close.
Interestingly enough, the #231 entry in the Truck series has a truck sponsored by Monster Energy with the driver TBA. Will probably be Carmichael though, is my guess.
I would think it would be James Buescher but wouldn't it be wild if Robby ran the truck series?
James Buescher will be in his full time truck ride (#10). Harvick appears to be in the #4 truck, which is Carmichael's normal ride. That truck has only turned up on the entry list a handful of times this season, with different drivers (Wimmer last time), so its tough to say who will be in it. But you are right. It would be fantastic to RG in a truck this weekend. The quality of racing in that series is outstanding, and there is far more parity/opportunity for racers that are not on mega teams. Tim Peters got his first win at Martinsville a few weeks ago for Red Horse, and Johnny Sauter got one for Curb too, so you never know what could happen.
Kevin Conway is in the 70 this weekend, a second TRG Chevy.
Robby is too busy this time of year, prepping for Baja and Dakar. I really don't think he'd waste spend time racing for someone else right now.
Seems like racing for someone else as a one off in the other NASCAR touring series would be far less work than trying to prep something of his own....
