The contact, with 13 laps to go in Sunday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series O’Reilly Auto Parts 250, sent both trucks — going about 150 mph — careening sideways, and Sauter’s tail even struck the wall.
Remarkably, both Sauter and Hornaday saved their Chevrolets and maintained their positions on the track. And Sauter, a day after celebrating his 32nd birthday, stretched his lead on Hornaday and won his first race of the season. Kansas City Star
Todd Bodine finished third and moved into second in the standings, 22 points behind Timothy Peters, who finished 23rd, six laps back.
Brian Ickler finished fourth and now has two top-five finishes in both of his starts for Kyle Busch Motorsports and rookie Austin Dillon had his best career finish, sixth. NASCAR.com
