Following raceday qualifying, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Buckle Up South Carolina 200 turns up the volume on Friday night at Darlington Raceway
Christian Eckes, locked in a tight battle with Corey Heim atop the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver standings, looks for a second straight win at the Buckle Up South Carolina 200 at Darlington Raceway on Friday night. Eckes won last year’s race at the “Lady in Black” in an overtime finish under caution and has two race wins in eight starts this season. Corey Heim picked up his second victory of the season last weekend at Kansas. Among active drivers on the circuit, Eckes and defending series champion Ben Rhodes are the only drivers to win the 200-mile race on the 1.366-mile asphalt, egg-shaped oval.

Bobby Hamilton remains the only two-time winner of the spring race at Darlington, which began in 2001 and was not run from 2005-09 or 2012-19. The race, scheduled for 147 laps, includes two stages of 45 turns around the track each, with the final stage covering 57 laps.
Last year’s race marked the longest in the history of the event, with 11 laps of overtime before Eckes took the checkered flag ahead of Stewart Friesen under the yellow caution flag.
Ten drivers qualify for the season-ending playoffs and four drivers hold victories for provisional spots in that field. Besides Heim and Eckes, Nick Sanchez and Rajah Caruth visited victory lane so far this season. All hold spots in the top 10 of the driver standings along with Ty Majeski, Tyler Ankrum, Taylor Gray, Matt Crafton, Tanner Gray and Grant Enfinger.
