The 2021 BrakeBest Brake Pads 159 presented by O'Reilly was the 2nd stock car race of the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season and the 2nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, February 19, 2021, in Daytona Beach, Florida at the Daytona International Speedway road course. The race was extended from 44 to 51 laps due to a green–white–checkered finish. As the race ended under caution, Ben Rhodes of ThorSport Racing would win his 2nd straight win of the season and the fifth of his career. To fill out the podium, Sheldon Creed of GMS Racing and John Hunter Nemechek of Kyle Busch Motorsports would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

The race would mark the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debuts for Lawless Alan and Jett Noland.

Background

The Daytona infield road course, which includes parts of the 2.5 mi (4.0 km) speedway oval, is most notably used for the 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race and Daytona 200 motorcycle race. In March 2020, NASCAR announced the NASCAR Cup Series' Busch Clash exhibition race would use the road course rather than the oval starting in 2021.

While the event was intended to be just a temporary race for 2020, it returned in 2021 after the Cup and Xfinity Series races at Auto Club Speedway were canceled due to concerns related to COVID-19. Although the Trucks did not have an Auto Club race, their round at Homestead–Miami Speedway was replaced for logistics reasons as Homestead weekend was moved back one week in order to keep the teams in Daytona a second consecutive week. The race became one of four Truck road course events, the most in series history. #DriverTeamMake1Hailie DeeganDavid Gilliland RacingFord2Sheldon CreedGMS RacingChevrolet02Kaz GralaYoung's MotorsportsChevrolet3Bobby ReuseJordan Anderson RacingChevrolet4John Hunter NemechekKyle Busch MotorsportsToyota04Cory RoperRoper RacingFord6Norm BenningNorm Benning RacingChevrolet8Camden MurphyNEMCO MotorsportsChevrolet9Codie RohrbaughCR7 MotorsportsChevrolet10Jennifer Jo CobbJennifer Jo Cobb RacingChevrolet12Tate FoglemanYoung's MotorsportsChevrolet13Johnny SauterThorSport RacingToyota15Tanner GrayDavid Gilliland RacingFord16Austin HillHattori Racing EnterprisesToyota17Riley HerbstDavid Gilliland RacingFord18Chandler SmithKyle Busch MotorsportsToyota19Derek KrausMcAnally–Hilgemann RacingToyota20Spencer BoydYoung's MotorsportsChevrolet21Zane SmithGMS RacingChevrolet22Austin Wayne SelfAM RacingChevrolet23Chase PurdyGMS RacingChevrolet24Raphaël LessardGMS RacingChevrolet25Timothy PetersRackley W.A.R.Chevrolet26Tyler AnkrumGMS RacingChevrolet30Danny BohnOn Point MotorsportsToyota33Jason WhiteReaume Brothers RacingChevrolet34Lawless AlanReaume Brothers RacingToyota38Todd GillilandFront Row MotorsportsFord40Ryan TruexNiece MotorsportsChevrolet41Dawson CramCram Racing EnterprisesChevrolet42Carson HocevarNiece MotorsportsChevrolet44Jett NolandNiece MotorsportsChevrolet45Brett MoffittNiece MotorsportsChevrolet49Roger Reuse*CMI MotorsportsChevrolet51Parker ChaseKyle Busch MotorsportsToyota52Stewart FriesenHalmar Friesen RacingToyota56Timmy HillHill MotorsportsChevrolet75Sam MayerHenderson MotorsportsChevrolet83Tim Viens*CMI MotorsportsChevrolet88Matt CraftonThorSport RacingToyota98Christian EckesThorSport RacingToyota99Ben RhodesThorSport RacingToyota *Withdrew for unknown reasons.
