Due to the cancellation, because of rain, of the Gander Outdoors Truck series event on Saturday, it was instead raced on Fathers day at Iowa Speedway. Ross Chastain #44 crossed the finish line first at the M&Ms 200 and went through all the victory lane celebration but was later Disqualified in post-race inspection for being too low in the front giving second place finisher #24 Brett Moffitt the win. This is the first time a win has been taken away in modern NASCAR history, the winner Moffitt never led a lap in the race.
Newly declared winner, Iowa native #24 Brett Moffitt.
BOTH winners of the race signed this die-cast toy for a sponsor, Ross Chastain signed on the roof and Brett Moffitt signed it on the hood.

The drivers who have elected to run for points in the series were eligible for an additional $50,000 bonus above the normal purse money.
