In his first Camping World Truck Series start since 2009, Mike Wallace won Saturday’s Coca-Cola 250 at Talladega Superspeedway, as Kevin Harvick Inc. teammate Ron Hornaday Jr. pushed him across the finish line.
The victory was the fifth overall for Wallace, who was substituting for Elliott Sadler, whose wife, Amanda, is expecting the couple’s second child. Wallace won in the Truck Series for the first time since 2000. The victory was his first in any of NASCAR’s top three touring series since he won a Nationwide race at Daytona in July 2004.
Hornaday ran second, followed by James Buescher, who made a dent in the series points lead of Austin Dillon. NASCAR.com
James Buescher finished third, followed by Ricky Carmichael and Jason White. Chevrolet swept the top-five positions.
Todd Bodine, in a Toyota, took the sixth spot.
Hornaday moved to within 16 points of Dillon, while Timothy Peters fell 42 markers out of the lead following his 23rd-place run. MiamiHerald.com
