8 To Go: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase Outlook

William Byron has won the past two consecutive
Truck Series races, and has three series wins this
season.

Eight down, eight to go.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is halfway to its inaugural Chase, beginning Saturday, Sept. 24 at New Hampshire. Matt Crafton, William Byron, Johnny Sauter and John Hunter Nemechek have locked up spots via wins, but four spots remain up for grabs.

If the regular season ended today, the four winless drivers who would make the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase are Timothy Peters (33 points above ninth-place Spencer Gallagher), Daniel Hemric (+21), Tyler Reddick (+17) and Ben Kennedy (+3).

A cluster of five drivers stands within 20 points of Kennedy’s pace for the final spot: Spencer Gallagher (-3), Cameron Hayley (-10), Cole Custer (-14), Christopher Bell (-19) and Ben Rhodes (-19).

Remember, a win gets a driver into the Chase and can bump a potential points-qualifying driver. Christopher Bell, Parker Kligerman, John Wes Townley and Travis Kvapil are all competitors on the outside looking in who have won a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race before.

The seven-race NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase features two elimination rounds, with four drivers competing in the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
