A proven winner in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series finally visited Victory Lane after a tough start to the season.

John Hunter Nemechek passed two-time series champion Matt Crafton with five laps left to win last Saturday’s race at Gateway Motorsports Park – his fourth career victory.

Nemechek’s triumph followed a stretch of three consecutive finishes worse than 20th.

The 20-year-old NASCAR Next alum will go for his second straight win in Friday’s M&M’s 200 presented by Casey’s General Store at Iowa Speedway. In three career starts at Iowa, Nemechek has a high showing of tenth and a 15.0 average finish. He won the pole there last year.

“I’m really looking forward to going to Iowa this weekend,” Nemechek said. “It’s a really fun race track. We ran really well there last year, qualifying on the pole, ended up leading a bunch of laps and didn’t have the finish that we wanted.”

Nemechek will pilot the same Chevrolet Silverado he won with at Gateway.

“We’re definitely looking forward to keeping the momentum rolling and hopefully doing a burnout on that corn start/finish line,” he said.
