Kyle Busch put on a masterclass Friday night in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series SpeedyCash.com 250 at Texas Motor Speedway. The winningest driver in series history led 112 of the 167 laps in the race, won Stages 1 and 2, and held off a hard-charging Corey Heim to score the overall race win.
Busch scored the win by a slim victory margin of 0.112 sec., the second-closest margin of victory in series history at Texas Motor Speedway. The closest margin of victory in a Texas Motor Speedway Truck Series race was 0.092 sec., a race won by Johnny Sauter back in 2018.
Following the race, Busch’s race-winning No. 7 Realtree Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado went to the inspection bay, where it received a passing grade in post-race inspection.
As a result, NASCAR officially declared Busch and his team the official winners of the race.
This win marks the 66th of Busch’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career, extending his all-time record for most wins in Series history. Busch also notched his sixth career NASCAR Truck Series win at the 1.5-mile speedway in Fort Worth, TX, which ties Todd Bodine for the all-time series wins record at Texas Motor Speedway.
No issues were discovered in post-race tech, which means all results and standings following Friday night’s race are now considered official.
The No. 17, 19, and 98 will be going back to the NASCAR R&D Center for additional teardown and engine dyno. The No. 75 truck was missing two lug nuts in post-race inspection, which will result in a one-race suspension and a $5,000 fine for crew chief Chris Carrier.
Corey Heim is recognized as the runner-up finisher in the event, and he was followed by Nick Sanchez, Christian Eckes, and Zane Smith inside the top-five.
Daniel Dye, Taylor Gray, Tanner Gray, Stefan Parsons, and Ty Majeski rounded out the top-10 finishers.
