In a two-lap shootout to end Sunday morning’s NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway, Brandon Jones pulled through on the restart to take the checkered flag after a close battle with Sheldon Creed for the final lead.
Creed ended up crossing third, as Austin Hill made a second-place run. Todd Gilliland was fourth, and Ben Rhodes was fifth. Ross Chastain, Brett Moffitt, Stewart Friesen, Tyler Ankrum and Derek Kraus completed the top 10 in the Pocono Organics 150 to benefit Farm Aid.
Jones is a full-time driver in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, which means Grant Enfinger remains the only Gander Truck Series regular with a win.
The first stage, which was only 15 laps, was full of wrecks and even saw two red flags. Matt Crafton and Codie Rohrbaugh collided on the first lap in Turn 1, ending their days before they really even started. Then, Austin Wayne Self and Raphael Lessard got into each other on Lap 7, and the damage drew the first red flag for eight minutes and 19 seconds. Finally, Enfinger and Ty Majeski tangled on Lap 13 to bring out another red flag, this time for seven minutes and 13 seconds.
Creed ultimately survived all that to win Stage 1 and then also Stage 2, which was another 15 laps and managed to have only one caution for a single-car incident.
Christian Eckes was leading with 11 laps to go, but a blown right-rear tire sent him spinning into the wall and ended his run right then and there.
Up next, the Gander Truck Series heads to Kentucky Speedway on July 11 for the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 (6 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
