Following the Lucas Oil 150 at ISM Raceway, the Championship 4 field of the 2019 NASCAR Truck Series playoffs has been solidified.

The round of 6 of the 2019 NASCAR Truck Series playoffs is in the books, and four drivers are slated to move up to the Championship 4, where the highest finishing of these four drivers will be crowned champion in the 23rd and final race of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Halmar Friesen Racing’s Stewart Friesen closed out the round of 6 by securing his second career victory and his second victory of the season at ISM Raceway, as he took the checkered flag to win the 150-lap Lucas Oil 150 around the four-turn, 1.022-mile (1.645-kilometer) oval in Avondale, Arizona.

How did the four drivers who are slated to compete in the Championship 4 put themselves in position to do so throughout the three-race round of 6, which included races at Talladega Superspeedway, Martinsville Speedway and ISM Raceway, and which two drivers were eliminated?

Here is a brief overview of the Championship 4 field ahead of the Ford EcoBoost 200, the lone race of the Championship 4. This race is scheduled to take place on Friday, November 15.
