In all but two finishes, especially the last three editions, fans have been mostly outraged on the outcomes, including myself.

The wild, competitive and unpredictable M&M’s 200 Saturday at Iowa Speedway certainly showcased the drama the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series delivers from week-to-week. But once the dust settled and the sun sank low in the sky, a relative sense of calm swept over speedway veteran Brett Moffitt. Why relative?
