Briar's Top 5 From The Truck Race At Martinsville

1. Chase Elliott- Might've not won the race, but sure did have the truck to beat. Elliott led two times for 109 laps. Had a shot to move Sauter out of the way at the end but raced him clean. Great driving by Elliott today. This should help him more for the Cup race tomorrow.

2. Johnny Sauter- If you think of it this way, Sauter kind of stole a win away from Elliott. Didn't necessarily have the winning truck, ran in top 5 for most of the race. With help of pit strategy late in the going, the field was shuffled up with Sauter having a bit advantage on Elliott. Sauter took the lead again with 25 to go and never looked back.

3. John Hunter Nemechek- After being knocked out of the chase last weekend at Talladega. Nemechek had a strong showing by finishing in the top three. His two tire strategy almost paid off, had the caution not come out in the last remaining laps.

4. Christopher Bell- Bell gave a decent showing today by coming home in fourth. Was quiet most of the day.

5. Timothy Peters- Just like Bell, Peters didn't show much today, but came home in the top 5. This was just a good points day, which might help him to the final four.

Honorable Mention- Austin Hill- Hill did an impressive job today by placing his no.20 Ford in the 10th position, his career best.
