Unlike most of the tracks on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series circuit, Krisiloff has previously competed at the Gateway International Raceway. In 2005’s ARCA Series event at GIR, Krisiloff started fifth and finished 33rd following an incident.

Krisiloff’s last NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, which took place at Martinsville Speedway, didn’t go exactly to plan. However, after going down three laps early on in the event due to a flat tire, Krisiloff persevered and regained all three laps by the conclusion of the race to finish in 23rd position on the lead lap.

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. He currently sits second in the Raybestos Rookie of the Year standings, 22 points behind leader Erik Darnell. Krisiloff is the youngest competitor in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the age of 20. Krisiloff battles with competitors more than twice his age and with as many years of experience. (more…)

In a race that saw 16 caution periods, for one to manage to survive is a feat in itself.  Kyle Krisiloff and the No. 15 ditech.com/Krud Kutter Chevrolet did just that in Saturday’s Kroger 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Martinsville Speedway.  Krisiloff placed 23rd in the final running order after having two flat tires and limited radio communication with his Billy Ballew Motorsports team throughout the race.  After being three laps down by lap 10, Krisiloff managed to finish on the lead lap by the completion of the 250-lap event.

“It was a tough day for the Billy Ballew Motorsports team,” said Krisiloff following the event.  “Going three laps down early on in the race was really tough, but to be able to get the No. 15 ditech.com/Krud Kutter Chevrolet back on the lead lap by the end was an accomplishment.  We endured two flat tires during the race so then by the end of the race when we finally got into contention by being on the lead lap and battle for a good finish, we had no tires.  We were out of stuff to race those guys.  We did end up on the lead lap though and I have to be thankful we simply finished.  It got pretty rough out there at times.” (more…)
