Kyle Krisiloff, Billy Ballew Motorsports No. 15 California Preview
February 22, 2006- 2006 is Kyle Krisiloff’s first full season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series as he attempts to achieve the Raybestos Rookie of the Year award against no less than 10 other competitors.
- Krisiloff is the youngest competitor in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the age of 19; Krisiloff will turn 20 on March 3. Krisiloff battles with competitors more than twice his age and with as many years of experience.
- Krisiloff makes his California Speedway debut this weekend. Like most of the tracks on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series circuit, Krisiloff will see the facility for the first time when he rolls out for the first practice session.
- Krisiloff plans to bounce back from his disappointing 28th place finish at Daytona International Speedway last weekend. After running in the top-10 for the first half of the race, a couple incidents in the last half took the No. 15 ditech.com/National Land Liquidations/Krud Kutter Chevrolet out of contention.
- 2006 marks the fifth full-season effort by Billy Ballew Motorsports. Over the last two seasons, the team has achieved four wins, two Bud Pole Awards, 23 top-10 finishes and 12 top-five finishes. The team finished fifth in the 2005 NCTS Owners’ Points Standings with eight different drivers throughout the year.
Kyle Krisiloff California Quotes:
“I’m excited to get to run at California Speedway. I like those types of tracks. They seem to fit my driving style a little better. I think we’ll be really strong with our No. 15 ditech.com/National Land Liquidations/Krud Kutter Chevrolet Silverado. It will be my first time in a truck at California, but I’m really looking forward to it. I have a learning curve to go through, but Richie Wauters puts together some great trucks. If we can run up front and finish it off with a top-10 finish, I think that would be a great turnaround from Daytona.”
