The race was held on Saturday, July 28. 2018, in Long Pond, Pennsylvania at Pocono Raceway, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) triangular permanent course. The race took the scheduled 60 laps to complete. At race's end, Kyle Busch driving for his own team Kyle Busch Motorsports would dominate and win his 51st NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career win and his second of the season.[1] To fill out the podium, Erik Jones of Kyle Busch Motorsports and Dalton Sargeant of GMS Racing would finish second and third, respectively.

Practice
First and final practice
Originally, two sessions were meant to be held during the weekend. While the first session had started, only 15 minutes were run until heavy lightning forced the cancellation of the first practice. Any drivers who set a time within the first 15 minutes would have their times transfer over to the second practice.[3]
The only practice session of the weekend would take place on Friday, July 27, at 2:00 PM EST.[4] Noah Gragson of Kyle Busch Motorsports would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 53.339 and an average speed of 168.732 miles per hour (271.548 km/h).[3]
