Tyler Anrkum held on to the final NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Chase spot despite brakes issues in the New Hampshire race on Aug. 22.
Ankrum battled brake pedal issues throughout the second half of the race, opening the door for Jake Garcia and Stewart Friesen to take the final Chase spot.
Friesen was fifth, Garcia was 11th and Ankrum was 23rd when a late caution shuffled the leaderboard.
After a caution during OT, Ankrum managed to advance to the 10-driver Chase by a scant margin after a 16th-place finish.
