2006 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN TRUCK SERIES
Since the NASCAR® Craftsman Truck Series dropped the first green flag in 1995, Team Chevy has won nine driver championships along with an incredible seven of the 11 Manufacturers’ Championships. And we’re kicking off the 2006 season with a powerful lineup including two-time champion Ron Hornaday Jr. in the #33 Silverado, and series veteran Dennis Setzer driving the new E85 Silverado. With the most wins in NASCAR® Craftsman Truck Series history, Team Chevy is poised for another great year.
Street VS Track
CHEVY SILVERADO
Since NASCAR created the Craftsman™ Truck Series in 1995, Chevy has won
five of the 10 Manufacturers' Championships and eight of the 10 Drivers'
Championships have been won in a Chevy race truck. And a Chevy Silverado SS with
a Vortec Max 6000 V8 engine brings a little of that winning heritage to your
driveway. To see how the Silverado SS compares to its Silverado NASCAR Craftsman
