Billy Ballew Motorsports with Kyle Busch behind the wheel of the No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Chevrolet Silverado, head to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series finale at the Homestead-Miami Speedway Friday, November 18.  The team is just coming off a win at the Phoenix International Raceway Friday, November 9th.

“I was so happy to put this team in victory lane again last week in Phoenix and finally Flanders Beef Patties,” Busch said.  “The program is really starting to come-on late in the season.  I’d really like to run in Daytona or on a track like that and carry on the momentum from the end of this season.”

Busch posted his sixth career win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series last week for Billy Ballew Motorsports.  The first win of 2007 for Busch and Ballew came at the Atlanta Motor Speedway three weeks ago and they looked to have the win at Texas that next week but an engine blew the team’s chances. Busch and veteran Craftsman Truck Series Crew Chief, Richie Wauters look to grab the last win of the season and will be bringing the same truck they won with in Atlanta and nearly won with in Texas, chassis No. 11.

“I’m looking forward to being in the truck this weekend,” Busch said.  “I haven’t run one here since 2005 and I think the truck we are bringing this week will be a good piece for the race.  It is the Atlanta truck that we could have won the Texas race with but the engine blew.”

“Homestead is a track I tend to favor. I think it’s unique in its own right because it’s got high banks and is really fast.  You can run pretty much all the way through the race around the top side. You’re going to see guys running up against the wall the whole time but you can go down to the bottom and try to make a pass.  It’s wide enough, you can race all around that place.”

Busch has five previous Homestead-Miami starts including, two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, two NASCAR Busch Series and one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.  Busch’s best finish of third came in 2004 in the Busch Series.  Billy Ballew Motorsports has six previous NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts at the 1.5 mile track just north of the Florida Keys with Busch posting their best finish of sixth in 2005.

Billy Ballew Motorsports will make its 128th consecutive start in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with 205 total team career starts.  Busch will take to the track for the Ford 200 making his 29th start for the team and his 11th in 2007.

The SPEED Channel will have extended live coverage of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Homestead-Miami Speedway beginning with live final practice coverage Friday, November 18 from 10:25-11:25am ET.  Live qualifying for the 134 lap; 101.5 mile race begins at 5:00pm ET with race coverage beginning at 7:30pm ET.  MRN and & Sirius Satellite Radio broadcast begins at 7:45pm ET.  The green flag for the Ford 200 is slated to drop at 8:00pm ET.
