Kyle Busch won his second consecutive race in the Camping World Truck Series, passing Todd Bodine with 19 laps remaining to take the inaugural EnjoyIllinois.com 225 on Friday at Chicagoland Speedway.
It was Busch’s fourth win of the season in 10 starts in the Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota. Busch also made Chicagoland the fifth track in which he has won a race in each of NASCAR’s three national series. He won the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races there last season. NASCAR
“[Crew chief] Richie [Wauters] made a good pit call there in the beginning of the race to take tires when we did,” said Busch, who led a race-high 79 laps. “Luckily, we had that long green-flag run, and we cased it. We made it look like we knew what we were doing, and that long run, it just hurt everybody else.”
“On the second-to-last restart, I just got too good of a restart, and this place is so much like Daytona and Talladega where drafting is so important,” said Bodine, who relinquished the lead to Busch with 19 laps remaining. “He got a good draft and passed me. I guess it’s my fault.”
Colin Braun finished third, followed by Rick Crawford and Johnny Sauter. MiamiHerald.com
