NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series: Gio Ruggiero Wins at Talladega
The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series faced its toughest test in the round of 8 at Talladega Superspeedway, with two races remaining in the season.
Gio Ruggiero secured the pole position, with Ty Majeski coming in second. Ruggiero maintained his lead early on, thanks to the support of his teammate Corey Heim.
However, the race took a dramatic turn when Majeski, one of the eight playoff drivers, got tangled up on lap five. Another playoff driver, Grant Enfinger, was turned down the track, colliding with Jake Garcia. All three drivers ended up on pit road, with Enfinger's day ending early as he was forced to retire to the garage.
As a result, Enfinger will need to win at Martinsville to advance in the playoffs.
