O'Reilly 200 - Official Results

Sprague Breaks 29 Race Drought in Memphis Charles Krall, TrackSide Editor With fireworks in the background race winner Jack Sprague celebrates. (Nate Mecha/High Sierra Photo) Jack Sprague had been winless in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for 29 races dating back to June 2005 when he went to the Winner's Circle at Texas Motor Speedway. That streak finally came to an end for the three-time series champion after Sprague capitalized on Dennis Setzer's misfortunes to win the O'Reilly Auto Parts 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park. Matt Crafton stayed near the front all night long, bringing the No. 88 Menards Chevrolet home in third, tying his season best set earlier this season at Martinsville. Crafton didn't want the last caution flag as he was quickly closing on the top two.  Ron Hornaday, who won last week at Kentucky, picked up the fourth spot after an early race scrape that left second-place point man Johnny Benson's truck wounded. Mike Bliss was fifth in the No. 16 Xpress Motorsports Chevrolet was fifth, ahead of sixth-place David Ragan in the No. 6 Scott's Ford, David Reutimann in the No. 17 Team Tundra Toyota, Terry Cook in the No. 10 Ford Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford, Mike Skinner in the No. 5 Toyota Tundra Toyota, and Setzer.  Point leader Todd Bodine was 15th, while Benson was a season-worst 32nd and three laps off the pace at the finish. There were seven cautions for 30 laps, and Sprague averaged 88.367 miles per hour en route to victory. The only significant incidents on the night were Aric Almirola's turn one crash on lap 198 which set up the green-white-checkered finish, and Erin Crocker and Chad Chaffin's crash in turn four coming to the checkered flag. There were no injuries in any of the incidents throughout the day.
