The NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series ( America’s favorite racing series) returned on track this past weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Prior to this past Saturday’s event, it was well over a month ago that we last saw the Truck Series on track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
With just three races left before crowning the 2019 champion, the Playoffs points standings in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series is tight, including one championship favorite now below the cutoff line.
In the closing laps, Austin Hill fights his way through the field and passed Ross Chastain to win the World of Westgate 200 in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
It took 437 laps led and 63 starts but finally, Stewart Friesen is a winner in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series. Friesen had to hold of Sheldon Creed, and company to win the Dirt Derby at Eldora.
With fuel no longer a concern when it came to crunch time, fan-favorite Ross Chastain was able to take home his third checkered flag of the 2019 season and becomes more of a threat for the championship.
The NASCAR Truck Series saw another first-time winner Thursday night just days after Justin Haley scored his first victory at Daytona. This time, it was Tyler Ankrum for DGR-Crosley who took home the checkered flag and earned his first career win.
Niece Motorsports driver and recent Xfinity Series winner, Ross Chastain came into Saturday night's race just 10 points out of the top 20. Chastain needed to earn at least 10 more points in order to be playoff eligible and compete for the championship.
