Brett Moffitt picked up his second straight win at Dover International Speedway in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season finale in the Sunoco 150 while Andrew Ranger ends up 15th.
Ryan Truex, who had only to see the green flag to be declared champion, clinched his back-to-back series championship by finishing third. Moffitt took advantage of a mechanical issue that sidelined his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Max Gresham on the first of two green-white-checkered attempts to inherit the lead, and then drove away from Corey LaJoie on the final restart to pick up his fourth career win. Truex, driving for Michael Waltrip Racing, put the championship out of reach with his win at New Hampshire last week so he was able to drive with the pressure off. Gresham had won the 21 Means 21 Pole Award earlier in the day and was leading the race on the first green-white-checkered attempt. However, he brought out the caution with major smoke coming out from underneath the car. That handed the lead to Moffitt. Eddie MacDonald and Dale Quarterley rounded out the top five. IZOD IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick finished sixth in her series debut while Canadian Andrew Ranger finished exactly where he had qualified in 15th.
