It may have been a long time coming, but Bobby Hamilton Racing driver Chad Chaffin finally scored that elusive first career Craftsman Truck Series win Friday when he took the checkered flag in the MBNA 200 at Dover International Speedway.

Not only was Friday a good day for Chaffin and Bobby Hamilton Racing, but it was also a record-setting day for the Craftsman Truck Series. Six races into the 2004 campaign, six different drivers have visited victory lane following a Truck Series race.

Chaffin may have led only once, but his stint at the front was a lengthy one -- over 50 laps -- and was when it mattered -- at the end.

Things didn't look so good for Chaffin early on, as a tire problem forced him to make an unscheduled pit stop, but what seemed to spell doom early on ended up being a blessing in the end. The unscheduled stop enabled Chaffin to stay out under a caution during which most drivers, including Mike Skinner, who had dominated the race to that point, had to come down pit road for fresh rubber and fuel.

Chaffin was able to stay out front from there on out to claim his mileston win.

Before Chaffin's stint at the front of the pack, it looked as if Toyota was going to make its first visit to victory lane -- a la Skinner, but Skinner wound up fourth, just ahead of fellow Toyota driver Hank Parker Jr. Rick Crawford claimed runner-up honors in a Ford.
