Matt Crafton took the #88 ThorSport Toyota to a surprising win in the Toyota Tundra 250, a Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway on Friday night. Crafton, the defending series champion, inherited the lead when Erik Jones, who led 151 of 167 laps, was caught speeding off pit road in the #4 Kyle Busch Toyota during very late stops when drivers were running out of fuel as a result of a long green flag run. Jones' teammate Daniel Suarez (#51) led briefly before he too ran out of fuel, and Crafton took the win with a low tank himself. Crafton's teammates, Johnny Sauter (#98) and Cameron Hayley (#13) finished third and fifth. Cup driver Ryan Newman finished behind Crafton in the Joe Nemechek-owned #8 Chevrolet. There were a few single-truck incidents during the race involving Brandon Jones, Austin Theriault (in a backup Brad Keselowski Ford along with teammate Tyler Reddick) and Spencer Gallagher. The series next races at Charlotte on the eve of the Sprint Cup All-Star Race next Friday, May 15.
