Ben Rhodes was able to collect a win during the 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. However, he had to wait until the playoffs race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to do so. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's take a look at how Rhodes's season went.
The 2017 season started off with a bang for the No. 33 GMS Racing driver Kaz Grala. The season opener saw him starting on the pole and winning the race after a last-lap crash on the backstretch. Since that Daytona finish, however, he was inconsistent with his finishes.
The 2017 year saw two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Matt Crafton make his 18th career season start dating back to the 2000 season.

The 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series was an interesting one, to say the least, for John Hunter Nemechek. He hadn't scored a win since his first one at Atlanta in 2016.

In his 2017 season, he only suffered two DNF's which came at Texas and Las Vegas in which Snider was involved in crashes.
The 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series was an interesting one for the no.52 Halmar Racing driver Stewart Friesen. Friesen, who was in his second season, made 19 starts out of 23. In 2016, he was only made six starts.
The 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver analysis continues with Austin Wayne Self. Wayne self was making his second year start in the Truck Series. Last year, he completed all but one race while in 2017, Wayne Self raced in 18 of the scheduled 23.
