Auto racing: Busch wins again in NASCAR truck race at Atlanta

Associated Press

HAMPTON, Ga. — Kyle Busch has held off Kevin Harvick on the final lap to win his second straight NASCAR truck race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Even though he struggled on restarts after losing a couple of gears Saturday, Busch surged past Todd Bodine on the back straightaway with five laps to go and held on the rest of the way to win the American Commercial Lines 200.

Harvick also went by Bodine and set out after Busch, whose truck wobbled on the final two laps coming out of turn four but held off Harvick at the line by about a length.

Busch, a Sprint Cup star who started from the pole, has been dominating the Camping World Truck Series. He finished second in the season opener at Daytona and has won the last two races, adding to his victory at California two weeks ago.
