The 37 Kind Days 250 (May 11 at 8:30 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) has historically been one of the most unpredictable events on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule.
With 15 different winners in 17 races and only three former winners – Kyle Busch, Matt Crafton and championship leader Johnny Sauter – in the field this weekend, it may again prove too tough to call. And that's always a good thing.

Toyota-powered trucks have won the last five races with Busch and Crafton responsible for two trophies each during that span at Kansas.
Now steering a Ford, Crafton may well be in line to break that Toyota streak. He’s won twice and finished runner-up twice in the last five Kansas races. A victory would certainly be a big boost to the two-time former series champion who is ranked sixth in the points standings.
The championship chase is still developing entering Friday night's race – 58 points separate Sauter from third-place Noah Gragson, a 19-year old who won the pole position last week at Dover and was runner-up at Atlanta earlier in the season.
