The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is back on track this weekend at Kansas, and Joshua Lipowski and Dale Tanhardt are back on the Pickup Throwdown podcast. This week, they give their early season Playoff predictions with 9 races to go until the Playoffs, and they preview what should be a wild race at Kansas.

Tanhardt and Lipowski fill out their Playoff brackets at this point in the season. While most Playoff spots seem pretty well set for now, a few spots toward the bottom are open and ripe for the taking. Who are some dark horses to watch out for, and which drivers will take those open spots?
The duo then give their predictions for who will advance through the Playoffs, capped off by who will win it all at Phoenix. Lipowski focuses on who is the best driver at Phoenix, while Tanhardt looks more at the overall best driver. Who will be right at season's end?
The pair then previews Kansas with their patented picks to win, fade, and surprise. Taylor Gray intrigues both co-hosts, with one predicting Gray to win this weekend. Will the Truck Series see a first-time winner this weekend?

Kansas marks the halfway point of the Truck Series regular season. Stay tuned as Lipowski and Tanhardt give their thoughts on the Kansas races.
