Busch Pulls A Double
Kyle Busch made it two in a row in the Craftsman Truck Series on Friday night by holding off Ron Hornaday to win the Commercial Lines 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race went under caution on lap 112 due to rain showers, at which time Busch opted to pit. With the race being under yellow for only three laps, this forced Hornaday to pit, thus surrendering the lead. The race would later fall under red flag conditions for nearly ten minutes – again for rain – with only four laps remaining. Busch held off Hornaday in a four lap shootout, and as a result, maintains his position atop the Craftsman Truck Series points standings. Hornaday went onto finish the race in second, followed by Mike Skinner, Matt Crafton, and Chad McCumbee to round out the top-five.
