#5 through #1

#5. While battling for the lead on a lap 66 restart, Grant Enfinger and Brandon Jones wrecked. Enfinger took responsibility for the incident. Although he finished the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 in 24th place, he remains the series points leader. Five drivers have clinched their Truck Series playoff berths. There are three races remaining in the regular season, so if three other drivers win, Enfinger will miss the playoffs, right? Wrong. If he is the points leader at the end of the regular season, he will still advance to the playoffs. Want a simpler way for him to make the playoffs? Win.. No. 98, ThorSport Racing. Ford, LW: 5. GRANT ENFINGER

#4. Austin Hill fell out of the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 after 28 laps due to an engine problem in his #16 Hattori Racing Enterprises Toyota. He is locked into the playoffs due to his win in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway, but he has not accumulated any playoff points since he won that race. He needs to earn some more if he wants to make a deep run in the playoffs.. No. 16, Hattori Racing Enterprises. Toyota, LW: 4. AUSTIN HILL

#3. Johnny Sauter finished two laps off the lead lap in the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225, but he still finished in 10th place, and he finished in 10th in stage one as well. At times, he has shown championship-contending moments, but he has not been consistent enough. In addition to his victory at Dover International Speedway, he has earned three stage wins. He is on the hunt for more playoff points in preparation for a deep run in the playoffs.. No. 13, ThorSport Racing. Ford, LW: 3. JOHNNY SAUTER

No. 45, Niece Motorsports. Chevrolet, LW: 1. ROSS CHASTAIN. #2. Ross Chastain has acclimated himself to competing in every NASCAR Truck Series race this season. In the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225, he qualified in fifth place. He finished stage one and stage two in fifth and second, respectively, and he ended the race in fourth. If his performance at Kentucky Speedway was indicative of his upcoming playoff run, he will be a favorite to advance to the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

With two laps to go at Kentucky Speedway, Brett Moffitt was the race leader. However, he didn’t save fuel, and his #24 GMS Racing Chevrolet was out of gas. Tyler Ankrum sped past him, and Moffitt ultimately finished in seventh place. With his two victories this season at Iowa Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway, Moffitt has the most playoff points among all drivers. More playoff points in the final three races of the regular season will set him up for a deep run in the playoffs as he attempts to defend his Truck Series championship.. No. 24, GMS Racing. Chevrolet, LW: 2. BRETT MOFFITT. #1
