    Matt Crafton hadn't won a NASCAR trucks race in three years. The way Austin Dillon was running, it didn't look like that would change in Iowa.

    One sloppy pit stop changed everything, allowing Crafton to take a late lead and snap a frustrating 79-race winless drought.

    Crafton held off a charging Dillon to win the trucks race Saturday night, his second career victory and first since Charlotte in 2008.

    "It's a huge momentum builder," Crafton said. "It was awesome. It was a long time since 2008."
