Camping World Truck Series NASCAR NASCAR Wire Service Track News

William Byron stole a page from his mentor and team owner, Kyle Busch.

Leading 161 of 175 laps in Saturday’s UNOH 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway – the first race in the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase – Byron cruised to victory, the way Busch has done so many times before, and punched his ticket into the Chase’s Round of 6.

Not that runner-up Christopher Bell, Byron’s stablemate at Kyle Busch Motorsports, didn’t make it interesting in the closing laps. As Byron worked traffic in the late going, Bell closed from 1.325 seconds behind with five laps left to 0.430 seconds down on the next-to-last lap. Continue reading →

In his track début at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the UNOH 175, the 500th race of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Spencer Gallagher and his No. 23 GMS Racing team ran into some rear gear issues that ended their day with a 28th-place finish.

Earlier in the day, Gallagher posted the second fastest lap in the last practice, then qualified to start the race from the seventh position. From the drop of the green flag, Gallagher fought an extremely tight balance in the center and exit off the flat corners of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. After making aggressive adjustments, the No. 23 returned to the track to begin his work back toward the top-15, with improved balance on his car. Continue reading →

Camping World Truck Series NASCAR Track News

The milestone 500th race in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series produced important ‘firsts’ for two key figures on the winning team.

When Austin Dillon took the checkered flag in Saturday’s UNOH 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, he delivered the first victory in the series to both team owner Maurice Gallagher of GMS Racing and to crew chief Shane Huffmann.

Dillon, who had stayed out on older tires while most other lead-lap trucks came to pit road under caution on lap 142, crossed the finish line 1.054 seconds ahead of two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton.
