Brett Moffitt wins Phoenix Truck series race to earn title shot

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Brett Moffitt won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday night at ISM Raceway to earn a spot in the four-man title chase at Homestead.

Moffitt charged from third to first with a strong inside move after a restart with three laps left in the No. 16 Hattori Racing Enterprises Toyota.

Moffitt raced to his fifth victory of the season, beating Noah Gragson by 0.456 seconds. Gragson earned the fourth and final championship spot on points. GMS Racing teammates Johnny Sauter and Justin Haley already had earned spots in the final four at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

"This is definitely a second revival of my career, really," Moffitt said. "I was racing Cup, but it wasn't really in winning equipment, and now I came back to the Truck series and Shige Hattori has built a great race team here and obviously a winning race team.

"It's a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and it's just fun working with these guys. We have eight or nine guys, full-time employees that travel every weekend, and they put everything into it and have been working until midnight these last few weeks to get these trucks ready to go win a championship, and now we have a shot."

Harrison Burton was third, followed by Grant Enfinger, Stewart Friesen, Tyler Ankrum, Sauter, Derek Kraus, Christian Eckes and Sheldon Creed.
