Jason Dockery led the most laps with 72 and Thomas Ogle went on to capture the win. This week the drivers showed good race-craft, which resulted in 4 cautions with 7 lead changes and there were 5 disqualifications and 4 disconnects in a 30 truck field.

This week the Truck Series moves to the Great Clips 200 night race at Gateway Motorsports Park with the current points leader Thomas Ogle 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 Raymond Casteel is 2nd, Dwayne McArthur #67 3rd, Tony Romack 4th and Ted Quincel in 5th.
The Gateway race will be intense, and expect to see close battles all over the track.
