Ten races down, 15 to go in the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. The series is known for its championship battle going down to the wire, sometimes to the last lap in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

This season appears no different than those before. The points lead has changed for the fifth time following Milwaukee. Ron Hornaday Jr. takes over for the second time with a 36-point lead over Matt Crafton.

Two former series champions looking to improve their luck and chances at another title sit third and fourth. Third-place Todd Bodine is 88 points out of first. The points difference is nothing to worry over, but Mike Skinner, sitting a mere point behind Bodine, is someone worth keeping an eye on.

Both Bodine and Skinner have wins so far this season. But consistency could be key. Crafton is winless since grabbing his first career win at Lowe’s in May last year.

From fifth place back, the points and stakes are tighter. David Starr moves up a spot
to fifth following a ninth-place finish over the weekend. Rookie Tayler Malsam continues to impress and moves up two places to sixth. He is 14 points behind Starr. Only 10 lie between Malsam and Brian Scott, driver of the No. 16 Albertson’s Toyota, who is seventh.

Scott can’t rest easy as the second-year driver only has a two-point cushion on veteran Terry Cook. Back in ninth, Rick Crawford barely hangs on to his spot. Crawford entered the top 10 following the race at Texas. He has just six points over Dennis Setzer, who is 10th.
