Grant Enfinger led a race-high 65 laps in Saturday night’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Heart of America 200 at Kansas Speedway, and when the driver took the lead for the final time with 32 laps remaining, there was no looking back.
Enfinger blasted past Corey Heim and Zane Smith in a three-wide battle for the race win, and then set sail. Enfinger would go on to score his first win of the 2023 season, and his eighth-career NASCAR Truck Series win by more than four seconds over Heim.
Smith, Stewart Friesen, and Ross Chastain made up the rest of the top-five finishers on the night.
