In a race that saw Ryan Preece and Zane Smith combine to lead 144 of the 150 laps, it was Preece who prevailed at Nashville Superspeedway for his second NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win.

Preece won the pole, led a race-high 74 laps and held off Smith and Carson Hocevar in the final laps to secure back-to-back wins at Nashville and the second straight win for David Gilliland Racing.

Zane Smith finished second after leading 70 laps and was unable to get by Preece after mounting a late charge in the final three laps. By virtue of his finish and 19 stage points, he will enter the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course as the Truck Series points leader for the first time since the season opener at Daytona International Speedway.

Carson Hocevar overcame mid-race contact with John Hunter Nemechek to finish third.

Ty Majeski finished fourth for his third straight top five finish, and Stewart Friesen rounded out the top five.

Christian Eckes, Tyler Ankrum, Max Gutierrez, Nemechek and Matt Crafton completed the top 10.
