For the first time since 2005, the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series will run at Richmond Raceway, and Austin Hill will lead the way in the ToyotaCare 250 on Thursday, Sept. 10. This race will be the Trucks’ regular season finale.
Hill earned the Cometic Gasket Pole Award after finishing third last Sunday (Sept. 6) at Darlington Raceway.
The lineup is based on four categories: driver’s and owner’s finishing position from last race (25% each), fastest lap (15%) and rank in owner’s points (35%).
Darlington winner Ben Rhodes starts alongside Hill in second, while Kyle Busch Motorsports’ Christian Eckes is third. GMS Racing’s Brett Moffitt begins fourth, and ThorSport Racing’s Grant Enfinger rounds out the top five.
Derek Kraus, who nearly won Sunday’s event in overtime, is sixth, and Raphael Lessard is seventh. Front Row Motorsports driver Todd Gilliland is in eighth, Moffitt’s GMS teammate Zane Smith starts ninth and Matt Crafton completes the top 10 qualifiers.
