- Corey Heim, Kaden Honeycutt, Ty Majeski and Tyler Ankrum will race for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship at Phoenix, with the highest finisher among them earning the crown.
- Defending champion Ty Majeski is the only finalist with a Phoenix victory, and he led the extended practice session heading into the Halloween-night finale.
- Qualifying set the grid with Honeycutt fifth, Heim sixth, Majeski eighth and Ankrum 21st for Friday night’s title decider.
- Heim downplayed favorite status in media availability, stressing the reset format and noting offseason work with Toyota and TRICON to improve on short and flat tracks.
