2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race Eight Kansas

Trucks in field: 33
Pole: Chase Purdy (77)
Outside Pole: Ty Majeski (98)
Stages: 30-30-74
Weather: Mostly clear, 58°F, Wind N 3 mph, Gusts 7 mph

Caution lap 1 of 134 for outside pole sitter Ty Majeski (98) losing a right front tire and bashing the wall.

Corey Heim (11) wins stage 1.

Zane Smith (91) wins stage 2.

Due to technical issues – replacing television – I’ve missed the majority of this race.

On lap 130 of 134 the leader is 1.736 seconds ahead of second place.

Corey Heim (11) easily crosses the finish line first 1.088 seconds ahead of second place Zane Smith (91) truck leading 79 of 134 laps.

Zane Smith (91) led 29 laps, but lost eight positions on pit road.

What I saw was not much of a race. After a restart the field strings out and no one seems able to do much with the leader. Ho hum.

Hooray, Brett Moffitt (1) shaved that silly mustache!. Former Truck Series champion Brett is back in the truck series for a few races
