Motor car race
The
2020 Chevrolet Silverado 250
was the 19th
stock car race
of the
2020 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series
season, the 15th iteration of the
event
, and the 3rd and final race of the Round of 10, making it the cutoff race for the first round. The race was held on Saturday, October 3, 2020, in
Lincoln, Alabama
at
Talladega Superspeedway
, a 2.66 miles (4.28 km) permanent triangle-shaped
superspeedway
. The race took the scheduled 94 laps to complete. At race's end,
Raphael Lessard
of
Kyle Busch Motorsports
would be declared the winner after a last lap wreck occurred coming into Turn 3.
Trevor Bayne
and
Raphael Lessard
were side by side at the time of caution- at the last scoring loop, Lessard was declared the leader, and since the caution freezes the field at the moment of caution, Lessard would win his first ever
NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series
race, and as of now, his only win in the series.

To fill out the podium,
Trevor Bayne
of
Niece Motorsports
and
Chandler Smith
of
Kyle Busch Motorsports
would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Christian Eckes
and
Todd Gilliland
were both eliminated from the Playoffs after the race, not advancing to the Round of 8.
