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 2.660 miles (4.281 km) permanent triangle-shaped superspeedway. The race took the scheduled 94 laps to complete. At race's end, Raphaël Lessard of Kyle Busch Motorsports would be declared the winner after a last lap wreck occurred coming into Turn 3. Trevor Bayne and Raphaël 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.[1] 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.[2]
