At the end of a long two-man duel between pole-sitter and race winner Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, James Buescher came within a whisker of stealing the show.
But driving his own No. 18 Toyota, Busch surged ahead off Turn 2 Saturday at 1.058-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway after a restart with two laps left in TheRaceDayRaffleSeries.com 175 to win the Truck Series race by .280 seconds over Buescher, who took issue with Busch’s tactics on Lap 174.
Buescher finished second, followed by Harvick, Matt Crafton and Austin Dillon.
“I had a pretty good restart, but Kyle raced hard in one and two and about squeezed us in the fence off two,” Buescher said.
Todd Bodine came home ninth and leads eighth-place finisher Aric Almirola by 257 points in the battle for the series championship.
