Hope it doesn't ruin the racing but I guess it's more in line with what many fans have been asking for.

The Camping World Truck Series will feature a new manufacturer-specific truck designed to create more brand awareness for NASCAR’s No. 3 series.

The Camping World Truck Series will have a new look in the not-so-distant future.

Following in the footsteps of the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, which have each undergone changes in the last few years to better reflect the identity of specific car manufacturers, the Truck Series will undergo the same metamorphosis in 2014.

In an interview Tuesday morning on SiriusXM NASCAR, Truck Series director Wayne Auton said the changes are being made to make the trucks being raced more in line with the trucks fans can buy in the showroom.

"What you saw in 2012 is what you'll see in 2013," Auton said. "Now, with that being said, to put a little hype on things, in 2014 I think you will see a new product on the race track with new trucks -- a new truck look."

I suspect that most of the good racing in the truck series is due to the attitude of the drivers.

Yep, and the ones with the best attitude move up to the next series.

I don't disagree with that but I guess my feeling is that it's a mix of veterans trying to keep their jobs and younger hot shots trying to make a name for themselves. Either way, they all have to race hard to achieve their goals.
 
If they really wanted to improve the truck series they would limit it to tracks of 3/4 or less. Get them out there on Our local short tracks and stir up some interest there!

A side benifit of racing them on the shorter tracks is that it would allow the young drivers ( 16 & 17 year olds ) to run the full season.
