NASCAR career
editReffner made his Craftsman Truck Series debut in 1996, winning Rookie of the Year, driving the #441-800-COLLECTFord forMark Simo. He finished the year with 3 top fives, 9 top tens, and three poles, finishing ninth in the points. He continued to run full-time in1997, posting two top-tens forDale Phelon. In 1998, he started the year with Phelon, but was released, and spent the rest of the season running withLiberty Racing andMB Motorsports. He had eight top-tens and finished 22nd in points.
1999 turned out to be a short year for him, as he ran only 13 races. He started the year signed to drive for a new two-truck operation,Ridge Gate Motion Sports, owned byMike Clark andDominic Dobson. However, he left the team early in the season as he felt the team had not lived up to its obligations, and spent the year withConely Racing, running thirteen races. In 2000 however, he had a breakthrough year, driving forTeam Menard. He won his first career race atTexas Motor Speedway, (a race that unfortunately marked thedeath ofTony Roper) and having 16 top tens, finishing 9th in the points. Four races into 2001 however, Team Menard suspended operations, and Reffner ran just a handful of races, for Conely andTKO Motorsports. He had three top-tens during that season. He ran three races in 2002, his best finish a thirteenth at Michigan. He also made hisBusch Series debut at Michigan. Driving the #0 for Conely, he started 25th and finished 29th.
