Crafton wins at Homestead; Jones takes truck championship

Matt Crafton took the #88 Toyota Tundra to his sixth Camping World Truck Series victory of 2015 in Friday's season finale in Homestead, Florida with a five-second lead over the #8 Chevrolet of John Hunter Nemechek. Erik Jones, the driver of Kyle Busch's #4 Toyota and the points leader after the Phoenix shakeup, finished the race in the sixth position, about eighteen seconds behind Crafton, and clinched the series championship. The 19-year-old will drive for Kyle Busch's Cup car owner Joe Gibbs full-time in the Xfinity Series in 2016. Finishing second in the final standings, and third in the race, was Tyler Reddick, a fellow rookie in the Brad Keselowski-owned #19 Ford.
