The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ sleeping giant has awoken.
One week after finishing runner-up at Kansas, Matt Crafton produced his first win of the season at Dover International Speedway last Friday.
As a result of his second straight top-two finish, Crafton jumped to first in the NCWTS standings, two points ahead of Timothy Peters. In five starts, the No. 88 ThorSport Toyota Tundra driver claims one win, two top fives and four top 10s.
Crafton will compete for his second win in as many weeks in Friday’s North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (8:30 p.m. ET on FS1). The Tulare, California native won his first race at the 1.5-mile track and also owns five top fives, 10 top 10s and an 8.2 average finish in 13 starts there.
“Charlotte is a multi-groove track,” Crafton said. “Even though it has fairly new asphalt, you can move around quite a bit, and that’s what makes it so much fun. The track always puts on a great show for the fans. It’s always fun for me to go back there, because it’s the place where I got my first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory.”
