NASCAR Truck Series Power Rankings after 2019 NextEra Energy 250
By Mark Kristl
#5 through #1
#5. Austin Wayne Self finished the NextEra Energy 250 as the last driver on the lead lap. His #22 AM Racing Chevrolet was battered from involvement in two different incidents. The combination of his ninth place finish and six stage points have him sitting in fifth in the championship standings. He will look to add to his good start to the season in the next race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.. No. 22, AM Racing. Chevrolet. AUSTIN WAYNE SELF
Stewart Friesen should thank his Halmar-Friesen Racing pit crew. They repaired his #52 Chevrolet from damage sustained during the race, and he persevered. His race ended due to his involvement in the lap 107 wreck, but his team’s persistence earned him fourth place in the championship standings to start the season.. No. 52, Halmar Friesen Racing. Chevrolet. STEWART FRIESEN. #4
#3. Spencer Boyd began his tenure at Young’s Motorsports with a fourth place finish. He even admitted that he struggled during restarts because of the fact that he hasn’t been a contender in NASCAR races before. He and teammate Gus Dean showed speed in the NextEra Energy 250, and he hopes that this speed will propel him up front once again in the next race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.. No. 20, Young's Motorsports. Chevrolet. SPENCER BOYD
Ford. GRANT ENFINGER. #2. At one point in the race, Grant Enfinger was two laps down. Thanks to two free passes, he got back on the lead lap. By the end of the race, he had a truck capable of going to victory lane. He now sits in second place in the championship standings following his second place finish in this race. He hopes to contend once again at Atlanta Motor Speedway, as another top 5 finish would keep him in a great position in the standings and extend his cushion over the playoff cut line.. No. 98, ThorSport Racing
No. 16, Hattori Racing Enterprises. Toyota. AUSTIN HILL. #1. Credit Austin Hill. He led the most laps, finished in second place in the first stage and accrued the most points throughout the NextEra Energy 250. Oh, and he also won the race. He displayed confidence running up front, and he made smart decisions on the track. Brett Moffitt won the race at Atlanta Motor Speedway last year driving the #16 Hattori Racing Enterprises Toyota. Hill hopes to keep the team’s three-race winning streak alive with what would be their second consecutive victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
