John Deere 250 - Official Results
Martin Conquers TalladegaMark Martin overcame early overheating woes then held off two dozen rivals Saturday to become the inaugural NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series winner at Talladega. Martin, who started from the Budweiser Pole, led the first five laps of the John Deere 250 but went a lap down after a plastic tear-off covered the grille of his Scotts Ford sending the truck to pit road on lap 16. The race's first of seven cautions at lap 24, however, allowed Martin to regain his lost serial and begin a methodical march through the field. Martin took the lead for the fourth and final time on the 91st of 94 laps. powering past defending NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Ted Musgrave at the head of the 2.66-mile track's backstretch. Musgrave had inherited the point at lap 86 after Germain Racing partner Todd Bodine was black-flagged for going below the out-of-bounds line in Turn 1 as he passed Martin's Ford.  More
