Corey Heim won the Kubota Tractor 200 at Kansas Speedway, securing his spot in the next round of the NASCAR Truck Series Playoffs. Although Heim led for 64 laps, it was a fuel issue with Ty Majeski's vehicle that allowed Heim to pass him in the final laps and claim victory. Majeski, who was leading in the late stages, ran out of fuel just before the white flag, leaving Heim with a clear path to cross the finish line first in his TRICON Garage Toyota.
