Mike Hillman Jr. Hoping To Make NHMS Truck Race Following Injury During K&N Pro Series East Event At NHMS

LOUDON, N.H. - Mike Hillman Jr. is hoping an injury sustained Friday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway won't hinder his ability to lead the efforts of Germain Racing's points leading Camping World Truck Series team Saturday in Loudon.

Camping World Truck Series.jpgHillman is the crew chief for series points leader Todd Bodine in the Truck series. He was injured on pit road during the K&N Pro Series East New Hampshire 125 Friday. Hillman was serving as a tire carrier for driver Zach Germain in the K&N Pro Series East event. It's unclear if Hillman was hit by a car on pit road.

Hillman was taken to the track's infield care center and then transported to a local hospital.

"Mike Hillman Jr. is awake and alert and undergoing tests at a local hospital to determine the extent of his ankle injuries," read a statement from Germain Racing delivered to a NASCAR official. "If Hillman has his say, he feels the garage opening time tomorrow will be an early wakeup call. He is very hopeful he can be with the Germain.com Tundra team tomorrow for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway."

Fueled Up Track: Good Morning From A Slowly Waking New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 07:42 AM PDT

LOUDON, N.H. - The rain has subsided and the track is dry at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the question now is does anybody really want to use it?

Sylvania 300 logo.jpgToday's on track schedule at New Hampshire Motor Speedway was scheduled to kickoff with Camping World Truck Series practice, though it's been a slow trickle of teams heading from the garage onto the 1.058-mile oval.

Word is that the jet dryers have left some diesel fuel on the track surface, leaving Truck teams tentatively testing the waters.

Fifteen minutes into the Truck practice here and six teams have headed out on the track. It's kind of an interesting sort of game of chicken going on.

Oh and word has it the Sprint Cup Series Chase for the Championship has begun, at least that's what all the drivers are talking about rolling in here.

Wait, maybe it's time to check that Truck entry list, maybe there's really only six teams here?
