It required more than seven hours from start to finish but when the checkered flag finally waved over Saturday's Ohio 250, Dennis Setzer and Spears Motorsports returned to Victory Lane.

Setzer's 17th series victory, at Mansfield Motorsports Park, snapped a personal winless streak of 41 races and ended a two-plus year, 57-race drought for Wayne and Connie Spears - the only remaining team that competed in the series' inaugural race in 1995.

Setzer now has won in nine different seasons matching Jack Sprague's (No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota) series record.

The victory was the first for crew chief Tom Ackerman, who joined the Spears operation five races ago at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The pair won the 125-mile race without a pit stop - a first since live sevice began in mid-1998.

Inclement weather contributed to a series record 103 laps of caution and produced the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series' longest day: More than seven hours from green flag to the drop of the checkered.
