| OFFICIAL RESULTS: Silverado 350K at Texas |
There was one winner and a number of big losers Friday night in the Silverado 350 at Texas Motor Speedway. Two accidents in the final five laps stirred up the running order. When the smoke finally cleared, Ted Musgrave had his first victory in 67 races, Mike Skinner had somehow salvaged a third-place finish and regained the lead in the Truck Series point standings, and at least three drivers - including previous point leader Ron Hornaday Jr. - were frustrated at missing a shot at winning. Musgrave held the lead early in the race, but fell back as the evening progressed. It appeared his winless streak would continue until two sets of leaders crashed in two separate late-race incidents. Those wrecks resulted in the race finishing under caution, with Musgrave in front. It was the first career victory at TMS for Musgrave, who lost one race at the track because of loose lug nuts and another because of a flat tire. "We've had a few of these stolen away from us here," Musgrave said. "It's a sweet victory to come back and have something like that fall in my hands where I had a little luck. Now I can finally say I won at Texas after so many tries. I was just hoping for a top-five (near the end), but if you play your cards right, sometimes it comes to you." Truck Series point leaders Ron Hornaday Jr. and Mike Skinner were running one-two on a restart with four laps to go. Then as Skinner tried to pass Hornaday on the high side going down the backstretch, Chad McCumbee went low and passed both drivers as the trio headed into Turn 3. That was quickly followed by Hornaday and Skinner making contact in the turn, starting a major incident that brought out the red flag for nearly 30 minutes. But while Skinner still was able to finish in third place (behind runner-up Brendan Gaughan), Hornaday slipped all the way to 18th when he was assessed a one-lap penalty for pulling into the pits and failing to stop on the track for the red flag. That enabled Skinner to turn a four-point deficit in the standings into a 57-point lead with only two races remaining in the season. (VPS Motorimages Photo)
