Kyle Busch made it look easy. Driving a vehicle that was the class of the field, Busch scored a commanding victory in Friday night's Camping World Truck Series race at Nashville Superspeedway. Busch's triumph in the Nashville 200 was his first in three starts this season and the first for the Kyle Busch Motorsports organization he brought to NASCAR's No. 3 series this year. Kevin Harvick, who was seeking his fifth straight win in as many Truck starts, finished second followed by defending series champion Ron Hornaday, Timothy Peters and Todd Bodine. Matt Crafton, Mike Skinner, Aric Almirola, Stacy Compton and Rick Crawford filled out the top 10. Only eight of 36 trucks finished on the lead lap as Busch followed up his pole-winning run earlier in the day with a dominant performance reminiscent of the ones he carried to a series-high seven victories in 2009. Those victories were all with Billy Ballew Motorsports, however - not his own team. "It's a dream come true to come out here and own your own stuff but to win in it, that's something special, too," the 24-year-old said.
