From the moment the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race started, Darrell (Bubba) Wallace, Jr. drove his truck like it was the last lap of the race. He did that for 160 laps. He had to use that same mentality when it came down to the last three laps of the race and he prevailed. Wallace won the Drivin’ for Linemen 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park on Saturday night.
Cole Custer was on the pole position for this race after he qualified at a record setting pace with a lap of 136.426. He became the youngest NASCAR national series pole winner at the age of 16 years, 4 months and 22 days. He lost the lead on the first lap to Wallace, Jr. but kept up with him for a few circuits in the second position.
