The 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series SpeedyCash.com 250 is finally done and dusted. The fifth race of the season started at 4:30 pm ET on Saturday, April 2, and lasted for two hours, 35 minutes, and 45 seconds. It took place at the Texas Motor Speedway, with a total of 36 entries.
Driving the #42 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports, Carson Hocevar secured his first career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win at the 1.5-mile-long track. He was in front when the leaders crashed in overtime and was eventually declared the winner of the race.
The 20-year-old's first NASCAR Truck Series career victory came in his 59th appearance.
Rev Racing driver Nick Sanchez, who led a race-high 168 laps, was battling against defending Truck champion Zane Smith on the final lap when his #2 Chevrolet Silverado hit Smith’s #38 truck. Sanchez tried to control his vehicle, but he was hit from behind by Hocevar and that contact sent him into Smith, collecting Christian Eckes as well.
Meanwhile, Chase Purdy claimed a P2 finish, followed by Stewart Friesen, Ty Majeski, and Jake Garcia in the top five. Hailie Deegan, Corey Heim, Ryan Vargas, Jack Wood, and Ben Rhodes completed the top 10.
