    Green Flag Notes
    • Three of the current top five in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship standings have victories at ORP. Travis Kvapil’s best is a second while Todd Bodine (No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota) has only been able to muster a seventh.
    • The Power Stroke Diesel 200 winner has gone on to claim the season championship just twice: Mike Skinner in 1995 and Jack Sprague in 2001.
    • The oldest winner of the Power Stroke Diesel 200 is Joe Rutttman at age 55 years eight months in 2000. Carl Edwards is the youngest at 23 years 10 months in 2003.
    • The Sauter family – Jay, Johnny and current Raybestos Rookie of the Year leader Tim – has entered the most siblings in series races at O’Reilly Raceway Park. Johnny Sauter has the best finish among “brother/sister” acts at ORP. He finished second in 2004. Eight sets of siblings have competed at the track.
    • David Green (No. 1 RFMS/Red Horse Racing Toyota) has competed in 12 NASCAR Busch Series races at ORP with a best finish of second in 1993. Green has been consistent, finishing on the lead lap in nine of the 10 races in which he was running at the finish.
    • Competitors at ORP have racked up a combined 50,469.02 miles in 12 seasons of racing at O’Reilly Raceway Park.
    • Last year’s race produced the most lead lap finishers (22) and matched the track’s greatest number of trucks running at the finish (32).
    • Toyota has failed to win on five currently scheduled tracks. One of them is O’Reilly Raceway Park where the Tundra counts only two top-five finishes in three seasons. Last year’s Power Stroke Diesel 200 found David Starr (No. 10 International/MAXXForce Diesel Ford) finishing fourth. Chevrolet is the top manufacturer at ORP with six wins but only one in the past five races.
