FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Ty Dillon led 130 of the 147 laps for a dominating victory in the NASCAR Truck Series race at Texas, while Matt Crafton had another top-10 finish Friday night to move closer to a season championship.
Crafton finished 10th and has a 46-point lead over defending series champion James Buescher with two races left.
While describing the No. 88 Toyota as ”horrendously bad” early, Crafton’s crew kept making adjustments. He was running around 19th late in the race.
Dillon drove the No. 3 Chevrolet to its 100th NASCAR victory across the sanctioning body’s three main series, including the late Dale Earnhardt in Cup races. Dillon was greeted in Victory Lane by Richard Childress, his grandfather and truck owner.
Buescher finished sixth at his home track, a 1 1/2-mile, high-banked layout.
