| Built Ford Tough 225 - Official Results |
 Dennis Setzer received a gift after race leader Terry Cook crashed with less than five laps to go to win the Built Ford Tough 225 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Saturday at the Kentucky Speedway.
Setzer picked up the lead on lap 147 and held off Todd Bodine on a green-white-checkered finish to pick up his third win of the 2005 season. Cook looked to have the race locked up in the late stages, stretching his lead to well over two seconds with 10 laps remaining. The lead started to shrink, however, as his right front started going soft. Finally, on lap 146 Cook's right front went down and he made hard contact with the turn two wall, handing the lead over to Setzer. Cook was credited with 25th after leading the most laps of the evening. Bodine, who won last week in Kansas, finished second, just ahead of David Reutimann, Mike Skinner and Ted Musgrave. Brandon Whitt picked up his career-best finish with a sixth, followed by Matt Crafton, Steve Park, Johnny Benson, and David Starr.
The race went green from the start, with pole sitter Bill Lester leading the first lap and then handing it over to his teammate Mike Skinner. Skinner would lead until lap 34 when Jack Sprague took over the top spot. Sprague would lead for nine laps before Lady Luck again frowned on the three-time champion. Sprague had a right front tire go down while leading, sending him hard into the turn two wall and out of the race. Sprague was credited with 36th position.
On the restart, Boris Said - who was substituting for Rick Crawford, who was injured in a qualifying crash - had a tire go down and he slid up the track into defending winner Bobby Hamilton. The ensuing accident collected Chase Montgomery, Brendan Gaughan, and Chad Chaffin. Other drivers involved in incidents include Robert Huffman, who spun twice, Tracy Hines, and T.J. Bell.
