| OFFICIAL RESULTS: San Bernadino County 200 at California |
Last weekend at Daytona International Speedway, Kyle Busch scored top-five finishes in all three of NASCAR's top series, but never once reached victory lane. He rectified that situation in short order Saturday afternoon at the Auto Club Speedway of Southern California, where he scored a dominating triumph in the San Bernardino 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Race. Busch led 51 of 100 laps in his Billy Ballew-owned San Bernardino County Toyota Tundra to cruise to victory ahead of the Lumber Liquidators Toyota of Todd Bodine and Johnny Benson, who charged from the back of the 35-truck field to score an impressive third place in his Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Tundra. Rounding out the top five were Terry Cook's Wyler.com Toyota and defending series champion Ron Hornaday, Jr. in the Camping World Chevrolet. Toyotas have now swept the top four finishing positions in the first two events on the 25-race NCTS schedule. The top three finishers in Southern California Saturday also finished in the top three at Daytona a week earlier, when Bodine beat Busch and Benson. This time, though, it was all Busch, who scored the seventh NCTS victory of his career and made it look easy. "Here's the start, hopefully, to a three-peat this weekend," said Busch, who will race in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday night and the Sprint Cup event Sunday.
