Tundra driver Harrison Burton scored his best finish of the season and tied his career-best result. Tundra driver Derek Kraus earned his second top 10 finish in three career starts.

“This is my favorite race track by far that we go to all year. I’ve had a lot of success in the K&N Series – got two wins and was going to have three I felt like, but blew a motor the last time we ran here. Truck side of it, we’ve just had a lot of misfortunes happen. Last year I felt like we had a strong truck. We were running 10th and got taken out."

Ross Chastain on Racing at Dover: “It feels like forever since I’ve been in one of these trucks, and I’m ready to go.  Dover is definitely a challenging track, but it’s one that I’ve always enjoyed.  This Niece Motorsports team has been working hard all season long, so I know we’ll have another strong truck for Friday’s race.”

After a month hiatus, the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series will be back in action this weekend at Dover (Del.) International Speedway. Tyler Ankrum and his No. 54 May's Hawaii team look to continue the positive momentum after earning a sixth-place finish in their last race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

During the month of April the No. 52 team ran the HFR Race for Autism fundraiser to benefit Crossroads Center for Children in Schenectady, N.Y. The Friesen family has a special connection to the cause since their son, Parker, was diagnosed on the autism spectrum shortly after his first birthday and attends Crossroads Center. All proceeds from the fundraiser help with technology updates and support, materials for teaching, play and social skills and allowing the school to offer salary and benefits to staff in order to retain dedicated people.

Although this will be his first NGOTS start at Dover, Sheldon Creed has previously competed there in 2017 in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East where he started seventh and led seven laps en route to a fourth-place finish.

NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series star Todd Gilliland visited Phillis Wheatley Elementary School in Bridgeville, Delaware, today to help announce the winner of Dover International Speedway’s fourth annual Monster Mile Youth Nation Design Challenge.

Ross Chastain on Racing at Texas: “I can’t wait to get this TrüNorth™/Paul Jr. Designs Chevrolet on the track,” said Chastain. “I’ve had this one circled on my calendar for a while. Everyone at Niece Motorsports has been working extra hard on this truck and I’m excited to get to be the one behind the wheel. We had a great race last week in Martinsville, and I feel strongly that we will run up front again this week in Al Niece’s back yard.”

Angela Ruch on Racing at Texas: “To say I am beyond thrilled to be here representing Niece Motorsports for my first time at Texas Motor Speedway would be an understatement,” said Ruch. “I am truly grateful to be a part of such an incredible team and I have no doubt I will make the Niece Motorsports team proud.”

Chad Finley Racing (CFR) announced today that NASCAR veteran driver Garrett Smithley will drive the team’s No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado in Friday night’s Vankor 350k at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS).
