Unfortunately, he could not run down Byron who captured the checkered flag 1.1 seconds up the road. It’s Byron’s eighth Truck Series victory and his first since he was full-time in the series back in 2016.
“Yeah man, it was a lot of fun,” he said after the victory. “Great crowd here at Martinsville. I’ve never won here.
