At New Hampshire, Custer started from the pole with a record qualifying lap of 28.887 seconds at 131.897 mph. Famous, #54 Kyle Busch had held the track record
He led three times for 148 of the 175 total race laps around the 1.058 mile oval en-route to scoring his first Truck Series victory in just his seventh series start. At 16 years , seven months and 28 days, he became the youngest race winner in a NASCAR national series history.

In fact, three of Custer's four NASCAR K&N Pro Series victories have come at relatively flat tracks-Richmond(VA) International Raceway, New Hampshire and Phoenix, the site of Friday night's 150-mile race. This is going to be a good one at the "Diamond in the Desert"
