The 2018 World of Westgate 200 was the 18th stock car race of the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, the second race of the Round of 8, and the inaugural running of the event. Despite an agreement, Speedway Motorsports would cancel one New Hampshire Motor Speedway weekend and add one race of each national series to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The race was held on Friday, September 14, 2018 in North Las Vegas, Nevada at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent D-shaped oval racetrack. The race was extended from its scheduled 134 laps to 144 laps due to numerous NASCAR overtime attempts. At race's end, Grant Enfinger would pull away from an ailing Brett Moffitt on the restart and pull away to win his 2nd career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race and the first and only win of the season. To fill out then podium, Johnny Sauter and Justin Haley, both driving for GMS Racing would finish second and third, respectively.
