Texas Motor Speedway is a speedway located in the northernmost portion of the U.S. city of Fort Worth, Texas – the portion located in Denton County, Texas. The track measures around and is banked 24 degrees in the turns, and is of the oval design, where the front straightaway juts outward slightly. The track layout is similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway (formerly Lowe's Motor Speedway). The track is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., the same company that owns Atlanta and Charlotte Motor Speedway, as well as the short-track Bristol Motor Speedway. Despite the Cup Series and Xfinity Series racing at Texas in September, the race was ran as a support race for the PPG 375, an IndyCar Series race.

Pole Sitter Nick Sanchez dominated the racing, sweeping Stages 1 and 2. However the race came to a halt on Lap 146 when Dean Thompson spun off of Turn 4 and hit the wall. Thompson's truck was then T-boned by Matt Mills and hit again by Trey Hutchens. Thompson was able to walk out of his truck under his own power but was ultimately taken to a local hospital for further medical evaluations. The race came under the Red flag as track personnel cleared the track of the wreckage and debris. The race resumed and the end came down to double-overtime. On the second overtime, Sanchez and Zane Smith were side-by-side battling for the lead with Christian Eckes and Carson Hocevar following behind. Just after the white flag waved, Sanchez and Smith made contact with one another which led to Hocevar unintentionally bumping Sanchez from behind. The resulting spin from the bump caused a wreck between Sanchez, Smith and Eckes, which allowed Hocevar to take the lead as the caution flag came out. As a result of the white flag waving before the caution, the race ended with Hocevar winning his first career Truck Series race.
