Kyle Busch picked up his second consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory in the MBNA Race Points 200 at Dover International Speedway on Saturday. Busch picked up the lead on a restart with 19 laps remaining and led the rest of the way, holding off Tony Stewart through several late race cautions to pick up the victory.

Terry Cook was the highest finishing Truck Series regular coming home third, holding off a resurgent Ron Hornaday who finished fourth. Hornaday dominated the field all day long before dropping back to fifteenth after a loose wheel on a pit stop with 50 laps remaining. At times, Hornaday led by nearly five seconds before the troubles dropped him into the pack.

The race, plagued by rain on Friday and delayed a day, was completed with a record number of caution flags and caution flag laps. The action started before the field completed the first lap as Robert Huffman and Steve Park made contact, sending the both hard into the inside wall and sweeping three other drivers into the accident with them. Johnny Benson suffered severe damage, as did Brandon Whitt. Regan Smith was also involved but was able to continue on.

Kelly Sutton brought out the next two cautions with spins down the front stretch. The race eventually ran under a long stretch of green flag racing with Ron Hornaday dominating the field. .

Others involved in the numerous incidents included pole sitter David Starr, who bounced off the inside backstretch wall on a lap 46 restart. Starr was able to make repairs and fought back to pick up an eighth place finish. Crashes also took out Bill Lester, who was running fourth when trouble struck, as well as Todd Bodine and Jack Sprague. Bodine initiated contact with Sprague who crashed hard on the frontstetch, and then on the restart a punctured tire sent Bodine himself hard into the turn two wall.

David Reutimann stayed out trying to use track position to pick up his first career win, but late cautions and used tires dropped him to fifth at the finish.

Rookie Timothy Peters finished sixth, with Ricky Craven coming back from his practice crash yesterday to finish seventh. Starr was eighth, with Matt Crafton and Mike Skinner rounding out the top-10.
