Matthew Justin Crafton (born June 11, 1976) is an American professional stock car racing driver. For 25 years, he competed full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving Thorsport Racing's No. 88 truck for all but one year from 2001 to 2025. A long-time veteran of the series, Crafton is a three-time champion, winning the championship in 2013, 2014, and 2019. He is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in Truck Series history. With the exception of 2004, Crafton has spent his entire truck series career driving for ThorSport Racing along with longtime sponsor Menards. He holds the record for most consecutive truck series starts with 592. Following the conclusion of the 2025 season, he stepped down from full-time competition, choosing to instead run a few select races a season going forward.
