NASCAR Truck Series at Canada 2015: Full Schedule, Standings and Preview

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series next heads north to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for this year's edition of the Chevrolet Silverado 250.

Much has changed over the course of the past month with new series leader Tyler Reddick still sitting atop the leaderboard, and the entire group of drivers continues to fight off names such as Sprint Cup regular Kyle Busch.

There won't be much in the way of interference Sunday, though, with the Sprint Cup on a break. In other words, the best the truck series has to offer will square off in a duel over 64 laps to alter the standings.

Here's a look at everything to know about one of the year's most important events.

Drivers to Watch

Matt Crafton

Matt Crafton's quest to regain the top spot on the leaderboard continues this weekend. 

It was a downright surprise to see him lose the slot in the first place, but it has perhaps been even more surprising he hasn't taken it back yet. Last week in Bristol, he struggled when it came to fuel management, and instead of winning, he fell to seventh place.

He took to Twitter after to give his thoughts: 

For a driver, it's never fun to lead 39 laps and lose out on a placement of need due to fuel. At the least, though, it's clear Crafton remains in top form and needs a slight adjustment here and there to get back to contending for checkered flags. 

Of course, Crafton sits just fine when it comes to wins already, but it provides a nice talking point surrounding perhaps the best driver each time out. Look for him to gun for a fifth win as he looks to put his name back up top.

A big winner in the wake of the leaderboard changes? 

Try Erik Jones, who sits just one point out of second place on the leaderboard and one win away from tying Reddick in the category. He also has his incredible consistency to thank considering he's posted six consecutive top-10 finishes.

This might be the perfect time for Jones to hit a road course. Last year, this event stood as the first road-course event of his career, and he surprised many by finishing third. He touched on what he needs to do better this time around, per KyleBuschMotorsports.com:

"

Yea, I like road-course racing. I enjoy it and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is a cool track -- it's fun to race on it. I enjoyed it last year when I got to go do it, so we'll see what it's all about this year. We were fast last year, just didn't do a good job managing tires on my part. Hopefully we can do a better job keeping the tires on it and staying up front and giving ourselves a shot at the win.

"

If last year was a learning experience, Sunday's event might be a get-over-the-hump moment for Jones, who could use a win at such an event and his second checkered flag of the year to put himself in a better position down the stretch.

This year, Jones won't surprise anyone if he performs well. It wouldn't make the event any less thrilling.

So how's Reddick holding up with everyone gunning for his spot? 

Not bad at all—he started 11th at the Careers for Veterans 200 and finished ninth, then turned around last time out and started 19th at the UNOH 200 and wound up eighth.

Reddick hasn't won since May, though, and his two victories aren't enough if drivers behind him begin to go on runs of strong form as the season winds down.

Even before the strong finish in Bristol, though, Reddick talked about how he loves the current format, per Allen Gregory of the Bristol Herald Courier: “There is no Chase format in the truck series, so every finishing spot matters and you can’t afford to fall back. People will get upset at times, but I enjoy the competition.”

It sounds like a driver who knows what it takes to hold onto his top spot, so expect nothing short of an aggressive performance from Reddick Sunday.

Should Reddick hold strong, it will make for quite the intriguing September, beginning in Chicago.
