Summary

NASCAR launched its nationwide truck series in 1995. Instead of automobiles, drivers competed in racing vehicles based on production pickups. Craftsman, the popular brand of tools established by Sears, was the title sponsor from 1995 through 2008. Many young drivers got their start in the truck series before moving up to NASCAR's top-level Cup Series.
