Kyle Busch didn’t make The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this season so he’s trying to do the next best thing - win the Nationwide Series championship and as many Camping World Truck Series races as he can.

Saturday Busch notched his sixth Truck win of the season when Billy Ballew Motorsports teammate Aric Almirola pushed Busch past Todd Bodine in the final quarter-mile to win the Mountain Dew 250 at Talladega Superspeedway. AHN

Busch and Almirola tucked in behind Bodine on the final lap then waited until they emerged from the fourth turn to make their move. The two jumped to the outside and Almirola drilled Busch’s rear fender, propelling them past Bodine in the final yards.

“It stinks sometimes when you have to push your teammate to victory, but hopefully Aric wanted to do it,” Busch said.

The finish was Almirola’s best in the truck series. He received a heartfelt “thank you” from Busch moments after the race was over and Bodine credited Almirola for “doing the right thing” by helping Busch get the win. The Associated Press
