Moffitt wins at Dover as Truex secures NASCAR Camping World
East title
DOVER, DE (September 26) - A pair of rookies took center stage Friday at
Dover International Speedway: Brett Moffitt came away with the Sunoco 150
checkered flag and Ryan Truex earned the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Series
East championship.
Truex, a 17-year-old development driver for Michael Waltrip Racing, finished
eighth on Friday but it was the performance throughout the 11-race season
that put him in the championship Winner’s Circle following the Sunoco 150.
Truex finished his first season in NASCAR’s top development series with
three wins and eight top 10s.
The main championship contender for Truex – Eddie MacDonald – finished one
position behind Truex in the race and wound up 34 points out of the
championship (1,719 – 1,685).
Jody Lavender was the third driver to enter the day with a mathematical
chance at the championship, 102 points back of Truex. His race ended with a
17th-place finish, seven laps down.
Friday’s season finale was dominated on the track by Moffitt, also 17. The
Grimes, Iowa, native led four different times for 85 laps and crossed the
line two and a half seconds ahead of Ryan Gifford for the Sunoco 150
victory. The second win of the year placed him third in the season
standings.
Following Richard Childress Racing development driver Gifford across the
line at Dover was Corey LaJoie, David Mayhew, and Alan Tardiff. Steve Park,
Ryan Duff, Truex, MacDonald and Jarit Johnson rounded out the top 10.
Joe Gibbs Racing’s Matt DiBenedetto set the track qualifying record earlier
in the day and led three different times for 31 laps, but a mid-race
accident left him two laps down in 11th.
With the 2009 season complete, the next racing event on the schedule for
NASCAR Camping World Series teams will be the 2010 NASCAR Toyota All-Star
Showdown on Jan. 29-30 in Toyota Speedway at Irwindale (Calif.).
Truex and the rest of the NASCAR touring series champions will be honored at
the Touring Series Gala in Concord, N.C., Saturday, Nov. 14.
