The 2018 Gander Outdoors 150 was the 14th stock car race of the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season and the 9th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 28. 2018, in Long Pond, Pennsylvania at Pocono Raceway, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) triangular permanent course. The race took the scheduled 60 laps to complete. At race's end, Kyle Busch driving for his own team Kyle Busch Motorsports would dominate and win his 51st NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career win and his second of the season.[1] To fill out the podium, Erik Jones of Kyle Busch Motorsports and Dalton Sargeant of GMS Racing would finish second and third, respectively.
Originally, two sessions were meant to be held during the weekend. While the first session had started, only 15 minutes were run until heavy lightning forced the cancellation of the first practice. Any drivers who set a time within the first 15 minutes would have their times transfer over to the second practice.[3]
The only practice session of the weekend would take place on Friday, July 27, at 2:00 PM EST.[4] Noah Gragson of Kyle Busch Motorsports would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 53.339 and an average speed of 168.732mph.

Qualifying would take place on Saturday, July 28, at 10:00 AM EST. Since Pocono Raceway is at least a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) racetrack, the qualifying system was a single car, single lap, two round system where in the first round, everyone would set a time to determine positions 13-32. Then, the fastest 12 qualifiers would move on to the second round to determine positions 1-12.[5]
Kyle Busch of Kyle Busch Motorsports would win the pole after setting the fastest lap in both rounds, with Busch setting in the second round a time with a 52.834 and an average speed of 170.345mph.[6] No drivers would fail to qualify.
