This was his third career trucks series win and first of the season for the Kansas native who grew up 90 miles away in Emporia.
“I’m so happy to finally be in victory lane here,” Bowyer said.
This win also stopped Kyle Busch’s three-race winning streak. Busch battled his car all day and finished sixth.
Johnny Sauter finished second, Todd Bodine third, James Buescher fourth and Joey Coulter finished fifth.
Sauter also took over the series points standings by 12 over rookie Cole Whitt.
“I couldn’t be any prouder of everybody at ThorSport (Racing),” Sauter said.
