MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Johnny Sauter earned a spot in the Truck Series championship race with a victory Saturday at Martinsville Speedway.
The win was the second of the season for Sauter and 12th of his career. He held off Chase Elliott in the closing laps to preserve the win in the Truck Series' inaugural Chase.
"I feel like we are peaking at the right time," said Sauter. "I feel like we've kind of saved some of our best bullets, so to speak, for the end, and we can go and really work hard on our Homestead piece for these next couple weeks.
