| OFFICIAL RESULTS: O'Reilly 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway |
 Johnny Benson used a slightly different pit strategy than the bulk of the field and took advantage of late race contact between the two leaders to score the win in the O'Reilly 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Benson, aboard Bill Davis Racing's No. 23 Exide Batteries Toyota, pitted 40 laps later than the majority of the field and quickly knifed his way back to the top-five. He was running third when Travis Kvapil and Kyle Busch came together while racing for the lead on lap 179. Benson dodged the spinning trucks and led the final 20 laps en route to his seventh career series win. (VPS Motorimages Photo)
