View High Sierra Photo Gallery for this Race

Robert Pressley proved he can still win races by claiming victory in his first Craftsman Truck Series race for Bobby Hamilton Racing. Pressley, a former Busch Series winner and Winston Cup Series competitor, was picked up by Bobby Hamilton Racing after being let go from the Jasper Motorsports team last year. Following Pressley 0.113 seconds across the line on the green-white-checkers finish was another former Cup regular -- Ted Musgrave. Newcomer Brian Rose was third. Pressley becomes the second driver in Craftsman Truck Series history to win a race in his first try. Mike Skinner was the firrst when the series was formed in 1995. Bobby Hamilton Racing won this event last year with driver Joe Ruttman. The third series event on the 2.5-mile, high banked oval here had 26 lead changes among 12 drivers with an average speed of 140.121 mph.
