The M&M’s 200 was the ninth race of the 23-race 2018 Truck Series season. Moffitt also won the second race of the season, which was the Active Pest Control 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. That race was held back in February.

Kyle Busch Motorsports’ Harrison Burton, the race polesitter, finished just 0.450 seconds behind Moffitt in third in his #51 Toyota.
