After winning a third NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship in 2019, Matt Crafton came up short in his bid to capture a record-tying fourth truck championship in 2020 and 2021. Will his third try for No. 4 be a charm?
If Crafton comes out on top, he’ll join only NASCAR Hall of Famer Ron Hornaday Jr. as a four-time truck champ.
The key to a Crafton championship run will likely be how well the veteran driver meshes with a new chief, as Junior Joiner – Crafton’s crew chief the past 10 seasons at ThorSport Racing – has moved on. All three of Crafton’s championships and all but two of his 15 career truck wins have come with Joiner atop his No. 88 pit box.
