Tim Matthews led the most laps with 64, going on to capture the win.

The race ended with Tim Matthews capturing his 1st win of the season with Vernon Margheim finishing 2nd, Dwayne McArthur nabbing 3rd and Mike Schrader finishing 4th.
This week the Keener Farms Truck Series moves to the Hisense 300 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the current points leader Vernon Margheim looking to maintain the lead in the series.
The question is … can he hold off the charging Old Bastards?
We shall see when the green flag drops at 9:05 pm Eastern time.
In the Truck Series points championship Chris Monroe is 2nd, Mike May 3rd, Don Phelps 4th and Dwayne McArthur in 5th.
The Charlotte race will be intense, and expect to see close battles all over the track.
