Mother Nature postponed the UNOH 200 until early Thursday morning. However, after a long wait concluded with the green flag signaling the start of the UNOH 200, another long wait concluded once the checker flag waved at Bristol Motor Speedway. After 61 winless Camping World Truck Series starts, Brad Keselowski finally ended the drought by winning the UNOH 200 to score his first Truck Series victory. Keselowski started in the 4th position but was quickly able to work his way to the front of the field. Keselowski and the overall favorite of the race, Kyle Busch, battled back and forth for the lead throughout the middle of the race. However in the latter stages of the race it was all Keselowski as the #19 Truck led 119 of the 200 schedule laps to score the victory over Darrell Wallace Jr, Ron Hornaday Jr, Matt Crafton, and Johnny Sauther.
The strong finishes by both Matt Crafton and Johnny Sauter kept the Camping World Truck Series points race in close proximity. After his win at Pocono, Sauter still holds the top spot with a slim 8 point advantage over Crafton. However Ron Hornaday, Ryan Blaney, and Darrell Wallace Jr are all within striking distance as the top 5 is separated by just 33 points. With 12 races remaining in the season, all 5 drivers have a legitimate shot at taking home the Camping World Truck Series Championship and it will be an interesting battle to watch. The next stop for the Camping World Truck Series will be on August 31st, at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
