The last time the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series visited Dover International Speedway, Matt Crafton took home the victory in thrilling fashion. Crafton beat Daniel Suarez by 0.571 seconds to take the victory.
Crafton is the only former winner in the Truck Series at Dover in the field this weekend.
NASCAR Xfinity Series regulars Brandon Jones, JJ Yeley, Matt Mills, and Ross Chastain are also entered in the race.

At Dover, the first stage ends on lap 45, the second stage on lap 90, and the final stage on lap 200.
Red Horse Racing
After the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Red Horse Racing announced that they would be shutting down effective immediately. This leaves Timothy Peters and Brett Moffitt out of a ride. They were sixth and 10th in points respectively.
