Matt Crafton cruises to Atlanta Truck race win

Posted 8:18PM on Saturday 28th February 2015 ( 10 years ago )
HAMPTON, Ga. - Matt Crafton was unbeatable Saturday night, as he led 85 of the 130 laps to score the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory in the Hyundai Construction Equipment 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Crafton took the lead with a quick pit stop under a lap 50 caution, and would show the rest of the field the tailgate of his No. 88 Fisher Nuts/Menards Toyota Tundra for the rest of the race, as he powered to a dominating win at the Hampton, GA speedway.

The victory is the sixth of Crafton's series career and his first at Atlanta.

"This Menards Toyota Tundra was fast, fast," said Crafton. "I was really disappointed with qualifying, but it didn't have a whole lot of single lap speed by itself. I knew once they dropped the green and this thing took off and ran three laps
