Race No.12 -- AAA Insurance 200 from O'Reilly Raceway Park (7:30 p.m. ET Friday on SPEED). Green at 8:18 p.m.

0 -- Points leader Todd Bodine has 18 career Truck Series wins but none have come on a track 1-mile in length or less. In five starts at ORP, Bodine's best finish is sixth with three 15th or worse. ORP is one of three active Truck Series tracks that Bodine has yet to finish in the top five (Iowa and Darlington).

0 -- Matt Crafton has two top-fives and six top-10s in nine starts at ORP but has yet to visit Victory Lane.

3 -- Ron Hornaday leads all drivers with three wins at ORP. In 10 starts, Hornaday has three wins and seven top-fives, including a top-three finish in the past five races at the track.

4 -- Four drivers have won at ORP and then gone on to win the championship: Mike Skinner (1995), Jack Sprague (2001), Ron Hornaday (2007, 2009) and Johnny Benson (2008).

4 -- Johnny Sauter has finished third or better in three of the past four Truck Series races.

5 -- Five of the 15 Truck races at ORP have been won from the pole. All 15 races have been won from a starting position inside the top eight, with all but one coming from a top-five starting position. The average starting position of the race winners at ORP is 2.8.

5 -- David Starr has finished in the top 10 in five of the past seven Truck Series races.

9 -- In nine of 11 starts this season, Todd Bodine has finished in the top five. The two races outside the top five both came at short tracks (30th -- Martinsville and 17th -- Iowa).

11 -- The driver who led the most laps has gone on to win 11 of the 15 Truck races at ORP.

22 -- Ron Hornaday has now gone 22 Truck races without a victory, the third-largest streak in his Truck career. The longest Hornaday has gone without a victory is 28 races in 2005 and 2006.

101 -- Todd Bodine leads the point standings by 101, the third-largest lead in the Truck Series with 14 races to go. Interestingly, the point leader with 14 to go has failed to win the title in nine of 15 Truck seasons.

432 -- Mike Skinner is the all-time laps leader at ORP with 432 laps led, but 350 of those came in the first two races at the track in 1995 and 1996. In his past eight starts at the track, Skinner has led just 82 laps and has just two top-10s, though those came in his past two starts.
