Crafton is coming off winning his second consecutive NCTWS championship in 2014 (first one in 2013).
Crafton took the lead on lap 59, and led the rest of the race from there. Crafton started fifteenth in his No. 88 Toyota. This was his 6th career win in the NCTWS.
Grafton finished 8th in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway.
"I was really, really disappointed with qualifying. But I knew once the green flag dropped and we ran three laps, these boys are in trouble." Grafton said.
"It was a great day." Ty Dillon, who finished 2nd to Crafton, said.
Crafton also started in the Daytona 500 the same weekend as the NCTWS season opener at Daytona International Speedway, filling in for the injured Kyle Busch.
The battle for third between Ben Kennedy and Daniel Suarez was exciting, as Kennedy held off Suarez by 0.696 seconds, Tyler Reddick, who won the season opener, was 5th.
