is year he's raced 3 events and has won all of them. Murphy knows the truck series is the 3rd highest level of NASCAR and his upcoming challenge at Mansfield will not be easy. "The Truck Series is very tough competition," said Murphy. "There are teams with bigger budgets and greater resources than I'll have. But I am still confident that we can have a good run. The short tracks are a bit more of an even playing field and I really like Mansfield even though it's been several years since I've raced there."
