Dover International Speedway has been a special race track for the Truexfamily through the years, and today it became even a little more special. Ryan Truex finished off his rookie season in the NASCAR Camping World East Series by claiming the series championship with an eighth-place finish in the Sunoco 150 at Dover on Friday afternoon. Truex, 17, driver of the #00 NAPA Toyota, did so two-and-a-half years after his older brother Martin won his first career NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at the Monster Mile, which the family from Mayetta, N.J., has long considered their home track. Brett Moffit claimed the Sunoco 150 in what he called “the best win so far” in his young career. Moffitt, driver of the #44 Red Line Oil Chevy, led the majority of the race. Truex came into the race 30 points ahead of Eddie MacDonald and ended up winning the championship by 36 points. MacDonald finished in ninth, four seconds behind Truex. (Dover Speedway PR)(9-25-2009)
