Mark Martin's fourth NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory of the 2006 season looked simple enough, and it was, thanks to strategy called by Scotts Ford crew chief Mike Beam.

Just 30 laps into Wednesday night's O'Reilly 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Beam called Budweiser Pole winner and race leader Martin to pit road for a quick fill-up of Sunoco fuel and tires and the driver was good to go for the rest of the 200 laps.

With a hard tire compound, track position and nine caution flags running interference, Martin was able to hold off championship leader Todd Bodine's Lumber Liquidators Ford to claim a .149-second victory and a payoff of $47,350 before a Bristol series record crowd estimated at 64,000.

Martin led for the final time from lap 66 when defending race winner Mike Skinner pitted for fuel and tires. Skinner, and others who pitted later, never were able dislodge Martin from the point despite numerous restarts, the final of which came with two laps remaining.

"We just had one of those magical set-ups," said the 47-year-old Martin, who became the first driver in Bristol Motor Speedway history to win in all three of NASCAR's three national touring series. "We never really raced (anyone). It (seemed like) we were under caution every other lap."

The victory was Martin's fifth in the series and 41st for Jack Roush, who extended his record for most wins by a series owner. Martin last won at Dover International Speedway on June 1 after winning the season's opening races at Daytona and California - where the victim on both occasions was Bodine.

Bodine edged Martin at Atlanta making it a combined four top-two finishes by the pair in 2006.

"We didn't have anything for Mark," said Bodine, who unofficially extended his championship lead over fourth-finishing Johnny Benson to 154 points with eight races remaining on the schedule.

Bodine's Germain Racing teammate Ted Musgrave finished third in the Team ASE Toyota, his late-race charge blunted by a frontstretch tangle with the lapped truck of Travis Kittleson. Benson's Exide Toyota was followed in fifth by David Starr, who recovered from a pair of penalties, a rear of the field start after his Red Horse Racing Toyota crew repaired qualifying damage and a one-lap penalty assessed by NASCAR for a pass-to-the-left at the fall of the green flag.

Kyle Busch, Skinner, Mike Bliss, Bobby Hamilton Jr. and David Reutimann filled out the top 10 as 20 competitors completed the 200-lap distance around the .533-mile, concrete-surfaced track.

Thirty-two of the 36 starters were around at the finish despite a number of minor incidents contributing to 53 laps of cautions, second most in a Bristol truck race, that held Martin's winning average speed to a sedate 72.081 mph, far off his pole winning run of 125.248. It was the second slowest of nine races held at the east Tennessee facility.

Martin served notice at the drop of the green flag that his challengers faced an uphill struggle. A veteran start left outside front row starter Aric Almirola trapped on the outside as a half-dozen drivers, led by Brendan Gaughan and Skinner, shot past on the inside.

Almirola, like most of his Raybestos rookie mates, never recovered and brought out the race's final caution at lap 193 with a frontstretch accident that sent the Spears Manufacturing Chevrolet to the garage. As in past races, in which only a single rookie logged a top-five finish, freshman drivers finished well off the pace with Raybestos leader Erik Darnell the best placed in 18th.

David Ragan's Turn 4 spin at lap 28 gave Martin, Bodine and Musgrave the opportunity to make their first and only pit stop. Track position came to them when Ryan Moore looped his Chevy in the fourth turn to put Skinner and the remainder of the field on pit road.

Skinner, who restarted 16th, still appeared to have something for Martin but time and caution flags worked against the 1995 series champion.

The same was true for Bodine, Musgrave and Benson despite running on the same, short pit cycle as the winner.

"He was just playing with us," said Bodine.

Actually, Martin was conserving fuel knowing that 170 laps was stretching the window. He was in no hurry to motor back to the front after his pit stop, preferring to save his tires. "All we had to do was keep Johnny (Benson) behind us because he was the first truck behind us on the same strategy," said Martin.

Owner Roush, told media members his next stop would be to find out how much fuel was left in the No. 6 truck. He didn't think there would be much.

Next event is the Sept. 16 New Hampshire 200 at New Hampshire International Speedway. Rick Crawford is the defending winner of the season's 18th race.
