2020 E.P.T. 200


The 2020 E. P. T. 200 was the 10th stock car race of the 2020 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season. The race was meant to be a temporary replacement for the formerly scheduled Camping World 225 that was scheduled to take place at Chicagoland Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The race was held on Saturday, July 25, 2020, in Kansas City, Kansas at Kansas Speedway, a permanent D-shaped oval racetrack. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. At race's end, Matt Crafton would win the race after taking the lead on the final restart to win the 15th and final NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series win of his career.
