NASCAR Truck Series: Austin Hill wins 2019 Corrigan Oil 200

Austin Hill secured his second victory of the 2019 NASCAR Truck Series season by winning the regular season finale, the Corrigan Oil 200, at Michigan International Speedway.

Hattori Racing Enterprises’ Austin Hill closed out the 16-race 2019 NASCAR Truck Series regular season by securing his second victory of the season in the Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan International Speedway.

Hill started this 105-lap race, which lasted five laps beyond its scheduled distance due to a late caution flag period, around the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Michigan International Speedway oval in Brooklyn, Michigan in sixth place in his #16 Toyota, and he won it by 0.125 seconds over GMS Racing’s Sheldon Creed, who needed to win to qualify for the playoffs, in second in his #2 Chevrolet.

Young’s Motorsports Tyler Dippel, who also needed to win to qualify for the playoffs, finished in third place in his #02 Chevrolet, just 0.424 seconds behind Hill.

Chevrolet drivers rounded out the rest of the top six. GMS Racing’s Brett Moffitt, AM Racing’s Austin Wayne Self and Niece Motorsports’ Bayley Currey finished in fourth, fifth and sixth place in their #24 Chevrolet, #22 Chevrolet and #44 Chevrolet, respectively.

ThorSport Racing’s Grant Enfinger, who secured the regular season championship in this race, was the highest finishing Ford driver. He finished in seventh place in his #98 Ford.

Halmar Friesen Racing’s Stewart Friesen, CMI Motorsports’ Ray Ciccarelli and ThorSport Racing’s Matt Crafton rounded out the top 10 by finishing in eighth, a career-high ninth and 10th place in their #52 Chevrolet, #49 Chevrolet and #88 Ford, respectively. Crafton clinched the final playoff berth because the race winner did not start the race from below him in the playoff picture.

This race featured a total of 17 lead changes among 10 drivers. Aside of Hill, who led more laps than anybody else in the field with 26 laps led, nine other drivers led at least one lap of the race.

Those nine drivers were Creed, Moffitt, Enfinger, Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates Harrison Burton and Todd Gilliland, ThorSport Racing’s Ben Rhodes, DGR-Crosley’s Tyler Ankrum and Niece Motorsports teammates T.J. Bell Jr. and Ross Chastain.

Chastain won stage one after starting from the pole position and leading every lap, but he was involved in an accident in the pits before stage two began when ThorSport Racing’s Johnny Sauter left his pit box and hit Grant County Mulch Racing’s Codie Rohrbaugh, which caused Rohrbaugh’s truck to spin into Chastain’s.

Moffitt won stage two.

Ankrum appeared to be in a good position to win the race late, as he led the race on what turned out to be the race’s penultimate restart, but during this restart, he was hit from behind by Crafton and spun out, causing an accident on the front straightaway that collected several drivers.

This race featured six incident-related caution flag periods and the two usual caution flag periods for the endings of stages one and two. Of the 32 drivers who started the race, 23 finished it, and all but one of the 23 drivers who finished the race finished on the lead lap.

Here are the full race results of the 2019 Corrigan Oil 200 at Michigan International Speedway.
