Ron Hornaday Jr. flashed the form that's made him a three-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion, dominating the final 50 laps of the Chevrolet Silverado 350K to win his second NCTS race at Texas Motor Speedway and sixth overall this season. In the process, Hornaday cut the points lead he's been trading back and forth all season with Johnny Benson, who finished the Halloween night third in the race. With just two races to go in the Truck season, Benson now leads Hornaday by just 6 points. Finishing second behind Hornaday was Kyle Busch's Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, followed by Benson, who made a last-lap pass of Todd Bodine's Lumber Liquidators Toyota. Completing the top five was the Con-Way Freight Ford F-150 of Colin Braun.
