Kyle Busch blew past Todd Bodine on a restart on Lap 127 and held off Johnny Sauter over the final 20 laps to win Friday night’s WinStar World Casino 350K at Texas Motor Speedway.
Bodine chose the outside lane for the final restart, but Busch cleared Bodine’s No. 30 Toyota through Turns 1 and 2 and held the lead the rest of the way.

The victory clinched Toyota’s fifth consecutive manufacturer’s title.
It was Busch’s 23rd career trucks victory, and his 84th overall in NASCAR
he has won 19 Cup races and 42 Nationwide races. Busch won the Trucks and Nationwide races at Texas last fall.
Busch took the lead for good on the lap 127, the first after the final restart.
“That last restart saved me,” Busch said. “I got a good jump and didn’t beat Todd to the line and ended up kind of being alongside him into turn one and I don’t know if my lane just had a better draft or what. We pulled away down the backstretch and held on there.” USA Today
