Kyle Busch wins Truck race at Texas
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Kyle Busch passed German Quiroga off a restart in a two-lap shootout in the Camping World Truck race Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway for his seventh victory in nine series starts this year.
Ninth on a restart with five laps left, Busch moved to third in one lap and was running second behind Quiroga when a caution forced the green-white-checkered finish. Busch restarted on the outside of Quiroga and pulled away easily before another caution ended the race on the final lap.
Quiroga was involved in the last-lap wreck, dropping him to 17th.
Jeb Burton was third, followed by Timothy Peters, Tyler Reddick, points leader Matt Crafton, Joey Coulter, Max Gresham, Joe Nemechek, Ryan Blaney and Cameron Hayley.
Busch led 80 of the 152 laps on the 1 1/2-mile oval.
