O'Reilly 200 - Official Results
Whitt Wins Final Lap Showdown with Hornaday at MemphisBrandon Whitt scored his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory in dramatic fashion Saturday night passing Ron Hornaday Jr.'s slowing truck on the final turn of the last lap at Memphis Motorsports Park. Whitt, the Bud Pole winner, captured the O'Reilly 200 when Hornaday braked for smoke laid down by Jimmy Spencer's Turn 4 spin. That was all the 22-year-old Whitt needed to put his McMillin Homes/Cure Autism Now Toyota Tundra truck in victory lane as he scored a 1.442-second decision - about five truck lengths - over outside front row starter David Reutimann.

Hornaday, his GM Goodwrench Chevrolet knocked sideways after being sideswiped by Whitt, wound up 21st - taking the checkered flag in reverse. The 27-time series race winner led 79 laps - the most by any of the event's four leaders.

Whitt, who averaged 71.182 mph, won $54,275 plus an $18,000 Craftsman Win from the Pole bonus. The finish, before an estimated crowd of 30,000, was the El Cajon, Calif. driver's first top five on the series and followed his best previous effort - sixth at Kentucky Speedway two weeks ago. He won in his 46th series appearance.  (Nate Mecha/High Sierra Photo)
