William Byron led 161 of the 175 laps in yesterday's UNOH 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon New Hampshire. William Byron became the first driver to move on to the next round and make Talladega no problem. Christopher Bell made a late race charge for Byron but didn't have enough time to capitalize and finished second. Bell led 11 laps along with Cody Coughlin who led 3 laps. Matt Crafton finished 3rd, Tyler Reddick finished 4th and Timothy Peters rounded out the Top-5. After having technical issues Daniel Hemric landed in 28th place also digging himself a hole as we head into the final two races of the first round. If the Chase was to end today, Daniel Hemric and Ben Kennedy would be eliminated from the Chase. The current standings are William Byron, Matt Crafton, Christopher Bell, John Hunter Nemechek, Timothy Peters, Johnny Sauter, Ben Kennedy, and Daniel Hemric.

Next Race for The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Sin City for the DC Solar 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Last season a surprise winner with John Wes Townley gaining his first career victory on fuel strategy. That could happen again this time but some drivers have room to make a risk while others don't. William Byron just wants to add another track he's won at in his rookie season as he looks to gain Kyle Busch his second straight NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship. The only driver really in a must win situation is Daniel Hemric, others have some leeway before we head to Talladega in 5 weeks.
