10 most dominant Champions in NASCAR Truck Series History

10. Johnny Benson Jr. — 2008

Benson’s title year was a clinic in clutch performance. He won 5 races, had 13 top-5s, and beat Ron Hornaday Jr. by just 7 points in one of the most intense championship duels ever. What made it dominant wasn’t raw speed — it was precision, consistency, and experience prevailing in a stacked field.

9. Todd Bodine — 2006

“The Onion” was untouchable this year. Bodine scored 5 wins, 16 top-10s, and led 607 laps en route to his first title. He dominated mile-and-a-half tracks and clinched the championship before the finale — the mark of a driver who had the field figured out from start to finish.

8. Matt Crafton — 2014

Crafton made history as the first back-to-back champion in Truck Series history. With 2 wins, 13 top-5s, and 17 top-10s, his 2014 season was a masterclass in composure. He didn’t just win races — he out-strategized everyone, rarely putting a wheel wrong in 22 races.

7. Jack Sprague — 1999

Sprague’s second title year was peak Truck Series dominance of the 1990s. Driving the No. 24 for Hendrick Motorsports, he scored 5 wins, 16 top-5s, and an average finish under 8.0. Back then, that level of consistency was unheard of — and it cemented him as one of the early series greats.

6. Mike Skinner — 1995

The inaugural Truck Series season, and Skinner defined dominance before anyone else knew what that meant. He won 8 of 20 races, earned 13 top-5s, and led nearly 30% of all laps that season. Skinner didn’t just win the first title — he set the standard for every champion that followed.

5. Greg Biffle — 2000

Biffle stormed through the 2000 season with 5 wins, 16 top-5s, and a massive 777 laps led, crushing the field and taking the title with ease. His aggressive yet controlled driving style made him a clear-cut favorite every weekend — and this was just the start of his rise through NASCAR’s ranks.

4. Ron Hornaday Jr. — 2009

At age 51, Hornaday turned back the clock and dominated the series with 6 wins, 15 top-5s, 20 top-10s, and 1,091 laps led. He went on a legendary run of five consecutive wins, something no other driver has ever done in the Truck Series. Pure, relentless experience on display.

3. Kyle Busch — 2010 (Owner’s Championship)

While not a full-time driver, Kyle Busch’s dominance through his own KBM team deserves a spot here. In 2010, his trucks won 8 of 25 races, with Busch personally claiming 8 wins in just 16 starts. His influence turned the series into a showcase of how perfection looks when Cup talent meets Truck grit.

2. Zane Smith — 2022

Zane Smith’s 2022 season wasn’t just about the championship — it was about control. He finished top-10 in 19 of 23 races, led over 400 laps, and posted 3 wins, including the finale at Phoenix to clinch the title. Statistically and strategically, it was one of the most efficient modern-era seasons.

1. Corey Heim — 2025

Simply historic. Heim shattered records with 12 wins, 1627 laps led, 23 stage wins, no DNFs, and became the first driver to lead in every race of the season. He swept both the Regular Season and Championship titles, delivering the most statistically dominant season in Truck Series history.
