Facing the prospect of missing races due to lack of sponsorship, John Hunter Nemechek went out and won the last two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series contests at Gateway and Iowa.

He’ll attempt to become the eighth driver in series history to win three consecutive races when he takes the track in Thursday’s Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 at Kentucky Speedway. The 20-year-old Chevrolet driver finished runner-up in the race last season.

Nemecheck, whose two wins tie Christopher Bell’s total for the series lead, sits eighth in the points standings, but his 11th playoff points are the second most on the circuit.

“I definitely think you’ll see guys run as hard as they can to try and pass each other,” Nemechek said. “I feel like you’ll see some bumper-to-bumper action and hopefully a lot of drafting and passing down the straightaway and guys giving room. I definitely think it’s going to be a good race.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams race the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 at Kentucky Speedway on Thursday, July 6th at 7:30 pm ET with television coverage on FOX Sports 1.
