NASCAR Truck Series at Texas 2015 Results: Winner, Standings and Reaction
Erik Jones held a three-second lead for the majority of the evening and never looked back.
Jones won the NASCAR Winstar World Casino 350 on Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway in convincing fashion, leading 117 of the 147 laps. The points leader in the Camping World Truck Series further distanced himself from the rest of the pack in the standings after Friday's finish.

The official Twitter account of Texas Motor Speedway summed up Jones' dominating win:
With the win, Jones took a 17-point lead over Matt Crafton, who—despite five wins this year—finds himself trailing Jones with two races to go.
Like he did Friday, Jones has dominated the competition throughout the season. The 19-year-old driver from Byron, Michigan, has 11 top-five and 18 top-10 finishes this year, which is a major reason why he has a firm grasp on the points lead as the season winds down.
Jones' official Twitter account provided video footage of the celebration:
Perhaps what was even more impressive about Jones' dominant victory was how fast it took. Jones broke the 147-lap truck track record with an average speed of 158.002 miles per hour, according to the Associated Press.
It's been a long time since Jones found himself outside the top 10 in a truck series race, per NASCAR.com senior writer Kenny Bruce:
The 1-2 finish with Jones and Daniel Suarez meant that was a successful day for Kyle Busch Motorsports, and Samantha Busch, Kyle's wife, showed her appreciation after Jones' huge win:
Despite being 19 years old, Jones has raced with the maturity and poise of someone who has been doing this for years. On the verge of clinching a Camping World Truck Series title, Jones could be on the Sprint Cup scene for years to come.
