He came to victory lane got a water and Gatorade shower from his crew, a big hug from his proud Mom and Dad.

For the second race in the last three, we've seen a first-time winner, it's exciting to see as a fan and pretty cool all the energy they have in victory lane.

Kyle Busch would finish second, dominate the race, led 62 laps today and made a rare mistake that cost him the win.

Brian Ickler would finish third, won the pole, but if he stayed low probably would have led the race, and ran a great race. 

He may hear good news on Monday, if Samsung Instinct signs on to sponsor the No. 15 for the rest of the season and will be the remainder of the season driving the truck.

Matt Crafton would finish fourth, got as high as second, but ran a reall smart race as the points leader and padded his points lead.

Mike Skinner would finish fifth, he rallied from a multi-truck wreck that damaged his truck and ran a decent race to battle for the possible finish.

Positions sixth through 10 were; Tayler Malsam, Ron Hornaday Jr., Timothy Peters, Dennis Setzer and Terry Cook.

The points now have Crafton leading Hornaday in second by 39 points and Skinner in third by 44 points.

The next race is, June 19 at the Milwaukee Mile, the Camping World RV Sales 200 on Speed at 8:30PM for the Set-Up Show with Krista Voda and a 9:00PM Race Time.

 

Editor's Note; The source for this race recap, are my race notes any mistakes are my own. Also I switched back to the formula, I used when I first started writing the Camping World Truck Series races and only used truckseries.com as a resource for their lap summary report.
