Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, NV
Former Las Vegas winner Grant Enfinger holds a one-point lead over reigning champion Ty Majeski in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series standings entering Friday night’s Ecosave 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (9 p.m. ET on FS1, NRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
Driving a Ford for owner Mike Curb, Enfinger took the checkered flag in 2018, before Toyota ran off a string of seven straight victories at the 1.5-mile intermediate track. Kyle Busch and Rajah Caruth have won the two most recent races at LVMS in Chevrolets, both from the pole.
If Caruth can win on Friday in the No. 71 Spire Motorsports Silverado, he’ll be the first driver to go back-to-back at the track. Caruth currently is 30th in the series standings after crashing out at Daytona and Atlanta to start the season, and he’s happy to get back on the track after a two-week hiatus in the schedule.
“It’s great to go back to Las Vegas,” Caruth said. “It will be my first time on the grounds since the win. That night was obviously such a milestone for myself, and from a confidence standpoint, I know I can get the job done at that facility.
“Coming off a couple bad weeks, it sticks in your mind when you have multiple weekends between races. My motivation for the weekend is definitely at a heightened level since I know I run well at Vegas. But in terms of preparation, it’s just another race.”
ThorSport Racing’s Matt Crafton will make his 200th start in the series on a 1.5-mile intermediate track. Only one other active Truck Series driver—ThorSport teammate Ben Rhodes—has made 200 or more starts in the series at all tracks combined.
Rhodes will make his 213th start in the series on Friday.
Corey Heim made a mistake on pit road, but his crew picked up the slack when it counted.
A lightning-fast stop under caution on Lap 86 put Heim in the lead, and that was the impetus the driver of the No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota needed to win Friday night’s Ecosave 200 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The stellar work of the pit crew allowed Heim to overcome a pit road speeding penalty he incurred at the end of the first stage on Lap 31.
“First of all, the pit crew did such a good job of getting the truck up front,” said Heim, who won his second race of the season, his first at LVMS and the 13th of his career. “I made that mistake in Stage 1 when I sped on pit road and put us behind.”
In a race run in uncharacteristically cold weather and stopped twice for sudden rain showers, Heim took the lead for good on Lap 101, passing Layne Riggs after the final restart following the fourth and final caution for Jack Wood’s accident in Turn 4 on Lap 93.
Heim led a race-high 42 of 134 laps to 39 for Stage 2 winner Tyler Ankrum and beat runner-up Grant Enfinger to the finish line by 0.825 seconds.
“This wasn’t exactly what we wanted in terms of the weather being cold and whatnot,” Heim said. “It seems to be a lot better when it’s hot and greasy, and we’re sliding around…
“I was doing everything I can there. I think all of us were completely wide open at the end. I spent a lot of time looking at my mirror, and it worked out.”
Enfinger passed Tanner Gray for the second spot on Lap 126 but couldn’t catch Heim over the final eight laps. Enfinger felt the battle with Gray might have cost him a chance to win.
“We got side by side and lost a little but right there,” Enfinger said. “And we probably went over our tire limit a little bit right there and that hurt us at the end.
“Corey was a lot better than us in the short run, and (crew chief) Jeff (Stankiewicz) really got this (No. 9 Chevrolet) really, really strolling on the long run. Our pit crew did an amazing job getting us from 11th to fifth (on the final stop). And when we were in the top five, we could race with those guys.”
Gray held third place at the finish, followed by reigning series champion and Stage 1 winner Ty Majeski and Riggs. Stewart Friesen, Rajah Caruth, Chandler Smith, Matt Crafton and Ankrum completed the top 10.
There were 21 lead changes among 12 drivers, both race records. Rain interrupted the race at the end of the first two stages, with red-flag periods lasting 55 minutes, 51 seconds and 19 minutes, 42 seconds, respectively.
