The 2018 Ford EcoBoost 200 was the 23rd and final stock car race of the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the championship race of the season, and the 23rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, November 16, 2018, in Homestead, Florida at Homestead–Miami Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent oval-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. At race's end, Brett Moffitt, driving for underfunded team Hattori Racing Enterprises, dominated the late stages of the race to win his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship.[1] The win was also Moffitt's seventh career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win and his sixth and final win of the season. To fill out the podium, Grant Enfinger of ThorSport Racing and Noah Gragson of Kyle Busch Motorsports finished second and third, respectively.

Background

The layout of Homestead–Miami Speedway, the venue where the race was held.

Homestead-Miami Speedway is a motor racing track located in Homestead, Florida. The track, which has several configurations, has promoted several series of racing, including NASCAR, the Verizon IndyCar Series, the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series and the Championship Cup Series.

From 2002 to 2019, Homestead–Miami Speedway hosted the final race of the season in all three of NASCAR's series: the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. Ford Motor Company sponsored all three of the season-ending races, under the names Ford EcoBoost 400, Ford EcoBoost 300, and Ford EcoBoost 200, respectively. The weekend itself was marketed as Ford Championship Weekend. The Xfinity Series held its season-ending races at Homestead from 1995 until 2020, when it was moved to Phoenix Raceway, along with NASCAR's other two series.
