Matt Crafton hopes to add to his successful track record at Gateway International Speedway in the Camping World 200 on Saturday.

In 7 previous starts at Gateway, Crafton has collected 5 top-10 finishes.  He has never finished in the top-5 at the track, however, and would like nothing better than to change that this weekend.

"I love coming to Gateway," he said.  "It's one of those tracks where we've always seemed to run well for the most part.  We've always had good trucks here.  Last year, we had a great truck but we suffered a couple of flat tires and fell a lap down for most of the race.  We were able to run down the leader to get our lap back and pulled-out a top-10 finish.  This track reminds me a lot of Phoenix, where we've been pretty successful, also.  We always feel confident here, and it would be great to get that first top-5 finish here."

Crafton has driven into the thick of championship contention.  He is 3rd in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series standings entering Gateway.  He won at Charlotte earlier this season, has finished in the top-5 in half the races this season, and his next top-10 finish will mark his 6th consecutive season with double-digit top-10 finishes.  Despite the increased attention inherent to a possible championship push, he remains focused on the task at hand.

"We're happy with where we are right now, but we're far from satisfied," said Crafton.  "Our focus each time out is top-5's and trying to win races.  The guys on this team have been awesome all year, have worked their tails off, and I'm really thankful for that.  We know what we're capable of, and we have to show it every week.  If we do that, we'll be where we want to be.  We'll stay focused on each race and look up with a couple of races to go and see where we are."
