Three ThorSport trucks among multiple pre-race inspection failures at Kansas


The Nos. 88, 98 and 99 ThorSport Racing Fords and the No. 26 Rackley W.A.R. Chevrolet all failed pre-race NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series technical inspection twice at Kansas Speedway before passing on their third attempts.

As a result, the truck chiefs of all four vehicles were ejected ahead of Saturday’s Heart of Health Care 200 (7:30 p.m. ET, FS1, NRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). The teams will also lose pit selection for the series’ next event at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

  • Tucker Scanlon, No. 26 Rackley W.A.R. Chevrolet
  • Tyler Kontos, No. 88 ThorSport Racing Ford
  • Brad Means, No. 98 ThorSport Racing Ford
  • Derek Rohlfing, No. 99 ThorSport Racing Ford

Ben Rhodes, driver of the No. 99 truck, and Matt Crafton, driver of the No. 88, both scored top-10 finishes one week ago at Texas Motor Speedway, finishing sixth and seventh respectively. Rackley W.A.R.’s Dawson Sutton finished ninth at Texas for his first top 10 of the 2025 campaign. Defending Truck Series champion Ty Majeski, who pilots the No. 98 Ford, also brought home a 10th-place finish for ThorSport at Texas.
