Description

The 2023 SpeedyCash.com 250 was the 5th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 25th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, April 1, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas at Texas Motor Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was increased from 167 to 172 laps, due to numerous NASCAR overtime attempts. In a wild finish, Carson Hocevar, driving for Niece Motorsports, would win the race after the leaders of Nick Sanchez and Zane Smith crashed on the final lap. This was Hocevar's first career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win. Sanchez would dominate the entire race, winning both stages and leading 168 of the 172 laps. To fill out the podium, Chase Purdy, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, and Stewart Friesen, driving for Halmar Friesen Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

The race was marred by a wreck on lap 146. Dean Thompson would spin coming off of turn four, and after the caution came out, he would get t-boned by Matt Mills and Trey Hutchens at nearly full speed, causing significant damage to his truck. Thompson was able to climb out of the truck under his own power but required medical assistance shortly after. He was later taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center for further evaluation.
