Busch wins late night truck race at Charlotte

Autoracing Betting Lines

05/22/2010 - Concord, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch held off Todd Bodine in a two-lap shootout to the finish to win the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 Camping World Truck Series race early Saturday morning at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The start of the 200-mile truck race at Charlotte was delayed nearly three hours due to rain. The event began at 11 p.m. (et) and concluded almost two hours later.

Busch, in his first year as driver and owner in the Truck Series, started on the pole and dominated early, but he got loose and scraped the wall on lap 40. Shortly after the incident, Busch made a lengthy pit stop under caution, as his team made repairs to the right side of the truck. He quickly made his way back up to the front and passed Ron Hornaday Jr. for the lead just after a restart with 17 laps to go. Busch beat Bodine by 0.23 seconds for his third truck win at Charlotte.

"This team did a great job on preparing a great truck to come out here with, but unfortunately I tried to screw it up, and I guess the driver owes the owner a little bit of money," said Busch, who led a race-high 69 laps.

Busch won his second race of the season and the 18th of his truck career. He also collected his 70th NASCAR national series victory, placing him ninth on the sport's all-time win list.

Bodine's second-place run allowed him to take a two-point lead over Aric Almirola, who finished seventh. Almirola picked up his first truck win one week ago at Dover.

"You're never satisfied with second, but the last few weeks the truck hadn't been driving really well, and it's been tough to drive," Bodine said. "The truck drove beautifully tonight."

Ron Hornaday Jr., who won this race last year, finished third, while James Buescher and Elliott Sadler completed the top-five.

Brent Raymer was involved in a frightening incident midway through the race. Raymer experienced a fuel rupture, as the front end of his truck engulfed into flames before hitting the wall. He quickly exited his truck uninjured.

Raymer also wrecked during practice earlier in the day.

Rookie Austin Dillon, the grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, was knocked out of the race in the opening laps when he experienced a mechanical problem and made contact with wall.

Terry Jones' expired engine in the closing laps forced the seventh and final caution to set up the two-lap sprint to the finish.
