Kyle Busch led the final 50 laps of Friday night’s WinStar World Casino 350 at Texas Motor Speedway and won his fifth straight race in as many starts in the series.
The victory was Busch’s seventh in 13 starts this season, the 16th of his career and his first at the 1.5-mile track. Matt Crafton ran second, .995 seconds behind Busch at the finish. Ron Hornaday came home third and left Texas with a 197-point lead over second-place Crafton in the series standings. NASCAR
“That’s cool, man. That’s a pretty proud accomplishment,” Busch said. “I’ve wanted to win a truck race here for a long time.”
“Kyle bent the rear bumper in pretty good, and raced me real hard,” Hornaday said. “That ruined the rest of the night when I tried to save the truck when it went sideways. Top three, that’s all you can ask for. Keep doing that, we’ll look good.” The Associated Press
