For most of the 2015 Camping World Truck Series season, Erik Jones has looked unbeatable - until the end of the races.
Jones, driver of the No. 4 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, leads all drivers in laps led so far on the season but had yet to notch a victory. This time Jones was not going be denied.
Jones was unbeatable on restarts and pit road during Friday night's American Ethanol 200 from Iowa Speedway. The 19-year old Jones started on the pole for the fifth time in his Truck series career and led 112 of the race's 200 laps.
Jones thinks the trip to victory lane may serve as a springboard for a successful season.
"We've been so close," Jones explained. "We've led a lot of laps and just haven't quite got to victory lane so tonight was a good night to do it. It felt good. I'm just excited to get the rest of the year going at this point. It seems like it took us a while to get here but now that we're here, I think we'll keep reeling a few off."
It's the second straight time Erik Jones has won in the truck series at Iowa Speedway. Jones was able to take the lead from points leader Matt Crafton on the race's final restart despite not coming off of pit road in the top spot.
Jones believes his truck was money on restarts.
"Every once in a while you get a truck that fires off on restarts, sometimes they don't," Jones said. "This one was just one that I felt comfortable with and I really felt like I could drive hard on restarts. It seemed like we got a good restart everytime whether it was luck or we just positioned ourselves right. We just happened to be in position to grab the lead on most of the restarts. It was just a good truck that fired off on restarts."

Brandon Jones, driving for GMS Racing, finished in a career-best second place. Jones, the driver of the No. 33 AGRA Industries Chevrolet Chevrolet, believes GMS may be turning the corner with his finish coming a week after his teammate Spencer Gallagher notched his best series finish at Gateway Motorsports Park.
"I think we've had speed all year long, honestly," Brandon Jones said. "It's just starting to kind of come around for us, it's kind of starting to come on our side a little bit. Like you were saying, Spencer (Gallagher) finished second last week and now us so I think we're getting a lot of gains on a lot of the KBM trucks and everything and making a lot of speed. I'm looking forward to these next couple of races."
Tyler Reddick finished in third place followed by two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton. Erik Jones' KBM teammate
Christopher Bell was highly successful in his Truck series debut with a fifth place finish. Behind the wheel of KBM's storied No. 51 Toyota, Bell admitted the goal for his debut was simple; just finish the race.
"Coming here I had just one expectation and goal - to just finish the race," Bell explained. "What I expected to run and then to come out with a top five is something I'm thrilled about. Obviously being in a KBM truck puts on a lot of pressure to you because they're expected to run good. They do have really nice trucks. The truck was probably a little bit better than the driver tonight and I think Erik (Jones) can prove that one. I'm just really thankful to be here and hopefully I'll get some more opportunities."
With the fourth place finish, Matt Crafton was able to maintain his hold on the top spot in the Truck series point standings, 12 points ahead of two-time event winner Tyler Reddick in second place. With the win, Erik Jones moves to third in the points just 26 points back of Crafton.
NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series will be back in action July 9th when the series heads to Kentucky Speedway.
