Since 2002, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Matt Crafton has piloted the distinct yellow machine. The No. 88 Ford and its driver have nearly become synonymous with circuit events.
Crafton, who will retire from full-time racing following Friday night’s Championship 4 race at Phoenix Raceway, collected three series titles and 15 trips to Victory Lane with the team.
The Menards-sponsored, ThorSport Racing machine is the longest-running union in NASCAR history, overcoming Richard Petty and STP.
Initially debuting with ThorSport in 2000, Crafton compiled 135 top-five finishes and 333 top-10s. He also captured 16 poles and completed 88,848 laps.
A non-Championship 4 challenger, Crafton drew +40000 odds to capture the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Regular-season champion Corey Heim (-105) remained the overwhelming sports-betting favorite to capture his first drivers’ title.
