Truck Teams Form Partnerships For Points

By Bob Pockrass for the Nascar Scene

Boston Reid will now have one of the top-30, locked-in spots for the first five Craftsman Truck Series races of the 2006 season, including the GM FlexFuel 250 season-opener at Daytona International Speedway.

The new Woodard & Sharp Racing team, with Reid, has formed a partnership with Orleans Racing owner Michael Gaughan and will get the points from the disbanded No. 62 team paired with drivers Steve Park and Scott Lynch last season.

Two other new teams have also formed partnerships to earn locked-in positions: Erin Crocker will have points from the No. 2 Ultra Motorsports team while Robert Richardson will have points from the No. 1 Ultra Motorsports team, both of which closed down in the offseason.
