2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Gateway Preview
There’s just five races left for the Craftsman Truck Series regular season, as they head to World Wide Technology Raceway for the Toyota 200. Coverage begins at 1:30PM EST on FS1.
Last year’s race had 11 cautions as Grant Enfinger made the pass for the win with 8 laps to go over Zane Smith.
Corey Heim +150
Corey Heim enters this weekend as the favorite once again, despite him last racing at WWT Raceway in 2022. He won the 2022 race but missed last year’s race due to COVID. After being disqualified last Friday night at Charlotte due to three loose lug nuts on his truck, Heim will be looking to makeup for that blunder with a win.
Christian Eckes +450
Coming off a Top 10 finish at Charlotte, Christian Eckes enters the weekend with a 30 point cushion over Corey Heim after being DQ’d. He’s finished 2nd in his last two races at WWT Raceway after not having a Top 10 finish in his first four starts. Eckes will continue to be excellent on Saturday.
Stewart Friesen +2500
Stewart Friesen has momentum on his side, coming off a 2nd place finish at Charlotte after Corey Heim got DQ’d. Friesen has finished inside the Top 5 in his last five races at WWT Raceway, including a 3rd place finish last year. He’s 32 points outside of the cutoff for the Playoffs, expect the speed to continue this weekend.
Ben Rhodes +2800
After a Top 5 finish last week at Charlotte, Ben Rhodes holds the final spot in the Playoffs by 32 points. Rhodes has finished inside the Top 10 in six of his eight starts at WWT Raceway, with his best finish being 2nd in 2016. He’ll need a Top 10 performance to keep his consistency going on Saturday.
