TRUCKS RECAP

• Saturday’s UNITED RENTALS 176 at Watkins Glen • Winner: AUSTIN HILL Race leader Austin Hill was declared the winner of Saturday’s United Rentals 176 at the famed Watkins Glen International road course after lightning in the immediate area forced the field to stop on pit road 11 laps from the scheduled race finish. Hill had taken a 1.023-second lead over John Hunter Nemechek before the trucks headed to pit road where they waited under red flag conditions for nearly an hour before the race was officially called. The race marked the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular season finale, officially setting the 10-driver 2021 Playoff field. Hill, who had previously only led two laps in his career on road courses, led a race best 36 of the 61 laps in the No. 16 Hattori Racing Enterprises Toyota to take his second win of the season and second straight. “It was nerve-wracking that’s for sure, I didn’t know if we were going to go back to green or not,” said Hill, 27. “It feels so good to win on a road course. The first three-race round of the 2021 Playoffs begins Aug. 20 with the Gateway 200 (9 p.m. ET, FS1).
