Kyle Busch Wins Truck Race at Texas

Chris Graythen/Getty Images for NASCAR(FORT WORTH, Texas) — Kyle Busch won his third Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday night.
Busch passed German Quiroga off a restart and claimed his seventh win of the season on the green-white checkered finish.
“It was a really good night for us,” Busch said. “Driving up through the middle there, the seas sort of parted ways a little bit, and they were already three wide, and I’m like, ‘There’s a gap there. I’m taking it.’ And that put us four wide. But in those situations, with that many laps to go, you’ve just got to do it.”
Jeb Burton finished second after Quiroga was involved in a last-lap wreck and Timothy Peters finished in third.
“I thought the 17 [Timothy Peters] was in the catbird seat there,” Busch said. “I figured he had the perfect strategy — two tires and he was going to be on the outside, get through those guys and get out front.”
