Kyle Busch followed up his historic Bristol weekend with another NASCAR victory, winning the Camping World Truck Series’ EnjoyIllinois.com 225 at Chicagoland Speedway.
NASCAR announced yesterday the 2011 schedule for its three national series, highlighted by several key changes for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Kyle Busch overcame starting from the rear of the field, and stretched his fuel to win the O’Reilly 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The win is his third Camping World Truck win in his Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota.
Todd Bodine cruised to his second-consecutive Camping World Truck Series victory by taking the checkered flag of the Too Tough To Tame 200 at Darlington Raceway. Bodine led the last 47 laps of the race, and with the win, extended his points lead to 231.
Todd Bodine dominated the Camping World Truck Series’ Nashville 200 at Nashville Superspeedway, leading 91 0f 150 laps. The win increased Bodine’s points lead to 174 over second-place Aric Almirola.
Elliott Sadler survived two attempts at a green-white-checkered finish, and held off Kasey Kahne, to win the Camping World Truck Series Pocono Mountain 125 at Pocono Raceway. The win was his first career truck series victory, and it puts him in an exclusive group of drivers who have won in all three of NASCAR’s national series.
Ron Hornaday snapped a 22-race winless streak by picking up his fourth career win at O’Reilly Raceway Park by winning the AAA Insurance 200. Hornaday led 129 laps and had a half-straightaway lead over Kyle Busch when he took the checkered flag.
Kevin Harvick overcame a power outage that pushed the CampingWorld.com 200 at Gateway International Raceway to Saturday, and a stiff neck that kept him out of Nationwide Series practice earlier in the day to win his third Camping World Truck Series victory in four starts this season.
As I watched Austin Dillon take the checkered flag in the famed No. 3 on Sunday, I wasn’t emotional. I wasn’t connected to it. As a matter of fact, I felt more upset than anything else.
Austin Dillon earned his first career Camping World Truck Series win by dominating the Lucas Oil 200 at Iowa Speedway. Dillon led 187 of 205 laps, and easily held off Johnny Sauter during the green-white-checkered finish.
