Fountain Of Youth

Last season's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series visit to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario proved to be a battle of the sport's young blood with Chase Elliot (17 years and nine months) shaking off Ty Dillon (21 years and six months) on the final lap to become the youngest winner in NASCAR national series history – a record broken two months later by NASCAR Next member Erik Jones (17 years, five months, nine days).

Sunday's Chevrolet Silverado 250 (1:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1) could make history once again as John Hunter Nemechek (17 years and two months) and NASCAR Next prospects Gray Gaulding (16 years and six months) and Cole Custer (16 years and seven months) have a shot to break the record for youngest race winner.

Nemechek and Custer turned in strong performances at Bristol, finishing sixth and eighth respectively. Both drivers have placed in the top 10 in their last three truck appearances and seem poised to clinch their first national series victories. Gaulding has yet to record a top-10 finish in five truck series starts, but has flashed his potential on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East series where he ranks fifth in the standings.

A plus for the young drivers of the NCWTS, Canada is a stand-alone event. In four stand-alone races this season, three of the winners have been under 21.

Canadian Contenders

Canada will be well represented in the Chevrolet Silverado 250 (1:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1) as native drivers Alex Tagliani, Ray Courtemanche Jr., Cameron Hayley and Andrew Ranger make their NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debuts on their home soil.

The four will attempt to become the first Canadian driver to win a NASCAR national series event since Ron Fellows came up victorious in the 2008 NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. Fellows, who also happens to co-own CTMP, boasts the only two victories from a Canadian driver in NCWTS action – his last coming in 1999 in the Bully Hill Vineyards 150 at Watkins Glen. With a checkered flag, one of the Canadians can join Fellows (six wins) and one-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race-winner Earl Ross as the third native driver to place first in a NASCAR national series event.

Each competitor brings plenty of NASCAR experience to his first race. Calgary native and former NASCAR Next member Hayley ranks second in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver standings, while Montreal resident Tagliani has two NASCAR Nationwide Series starts this season. Courtemanche, also from Montreal, is a familiar name in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series with five starts on the circuit this year, including the season-opener in Bowmanville. The 27-year-old Ranger, who calls Quebec home, has the most NASCAR national series experience among the four with 17 Nationwide appearances and one Sprint Cup start. In 2014, he's been racing a full NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule, sitting third in the points standings.

Last season marked the NCWTS' inaugural visit to Canada – its first road course event since 2000.

"It's always been a dream of mine to run in one of NASCAR's top-three series, and I can't believe I'm finally getting the chance to live that dream," Hayley said. "Having my first truck series start in a place I consider 'home' is everything I could've ever hoped for."

Kyle Busch Motorsports Drivers Hit Canada

After a slow start to the season, Darrell Wallace Jr. is rocketing up the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series standings.

Behind the strength of two wins and two runner-up finishes, Wallace has scored more points, 318, than any other driver in the NCWTS' last eight races. The surge has helped the 20-year-old move from 11th in the points rankings leaving the fifth race of the season at Dover to fifth after the most recent event at Bristol. Current standings leader Johnny Sauter's 303 points are the second-most tallied in the series over the last eight events.

"We definitely have momentum on our side following some strong runs the last few weeks in our No. 54 Toyota Tundra," Wallace said. "I'm pumped to get back to Canada, turn left and right, and hopefully leave with some hardware to add to this year's finishes."

Joining Wallace north of the border is his Kyle Busch Motorsports teammate Erik Jones – the youngest driver (17 years, five months, nine days) to ever win a NASCAR national series race.

At Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Jones will take a crack at his first road race and gun for his second win of the season (his first came at Iowa in July).

"I've been looking forward to making my first start on a road course for a long time and now that I'm finally getting the chance, I think it is going to be pretty fun," Jones said. "It's always tough going into a new situation in a race car, but I attended the Ron Fellows school and that helped out a lot."

Hayley Set For Camping World Truck Series Debut

NASCAR Next alumnus Cameron Hayley will make his national series debut in the Chevrolet Silverado 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, becoming the 22nd driver in the program's four year history to race in one of NASCAR's three national series. Hayley, a Calgary, Alberta, Canada, native is currently second in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship standings.

For the second consecutive year, the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 will compete in a combination weekend with the Camping World Truck Series when it runs the Pinty's Presents the Clarington 200 at CTMP. Current points leader L.P. Dumoulin is the defending winner of this event and J.R. Fitzpatrick won the season-opener for the series at CTMP in May.

The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West will make its second visit to Kern County Raceway Park this weekend for the Bakersfield 150 presented by GPS. Points leader Greg Pursley won the spring race from the pole and returns to the track with a 25-point advantage over second-place NASCAR Next driver Dylan Lupton. Pursley also won the inaugural event at Kern County last year.

George Brunnhoelzl III and the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour return to Langley Speedway for the second time this season in the Bayport Credit Union 150. The three-time defending champion won the spring race while NASCAR Next driver and defending NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Ryan Preece set a new track record in qualifying. Preece will return to compete again at the .396-mile track on Saturday, his eighth event with the Southern Tour.
