It may have taken awhile, but Kyle Busch is back on top of the Camping World Truck Series. He has been absent from victory lane since New Hampshire in 2011 and this win broke his seven race losing streak in the series. Busch started out running well, but then a pit road mistake left him at the back of the field during the latter part of the event. He battled back to the front after a few wild restarts and was able to secure the victory. This race had action from the drop of the green-flag and it proves why the Camping World Truck races are usually the best events of the weekend.

Rookie Jeb Burton started on the pole for the third time this season, but couldn’t hold the lead for long as Ty Dillon passed him on lap one. It didn’t take long for Busch to make it to the lead as he passed Dillon for the top spot on lap four. Brendan Gaughan had a strong truck all night and was able to grab the lead on lap 24. After a caution for Caleb Holman on lap 26, Busch took his chance to regain the lead after the restart and was back in the top spot by lap 34.

With 52 laps remaining, the yellow-flag flew for a couple of spinning trucks allowing drivers to make a pit stop. Busch’s dominant truck of the night received a penalty following his stop. Busch had removed the gas can from his pit box and putting him at the tail end of the field with only 50 laps remaining in the race. Miguel Paludo capitalized on Busch’s penalty and became the new man out front for much of the last 50 laps.

The fifth caution of the night came out for a scary wreck involving Ron Hornaday Jr. and Jake Crum. Hornaday Jr. had a problem with his truck and started to slide up the hill in turn three. While trucks tried to avoid him, Jake Crum couldn’t and he plowed into the back of Hornaday Jr. Crum’s front-end was destroyed and Hornaday Jr. had a fair amount of damage. That wreck wouldn’t be the last one in the closing laps and some payback was issued during the seventh caution of the night.

On a restart, Johnny Sauter hit James Buescher causing Buescher to lose a lot of ground. Once Buescher regained his lost ground, he found himself on the rear bumper of Sauter. Buescher nudged Sauter in turn three and Sauter spun up the track and made contact with the outside wall. Sauter came into the race second in the standings and now, he wasn’t going to leave in the same position.

Kyle Busch made a miraculous comeback from his penalty and with 14 laps remaining, he regained the top spot. A truck out of his stable driven by Bubba Wallace was also up front with him until an incident ended Wallace’s night. Just as the a caution came out for a spin in turn two, Brad Keselowski and Wallace made contact sending Wallace’s truck spinning into the inside wall on the backstretch. The contact with the wall was sufficient enough to end his night. Now, Kyle Busch was KBM’s only hope to bring home a win in their backyard.

He did not fail at that mission and after the last restart; he stretched out his lead and cruised to the finish line. This win didn’t look possible with about 50 laps remaining, but fans know they can never count Busch out. He’s been striving to get back to victory lane in his own truck for over a year now, and he accomplished that goal with this win. Anytime he wins a race it’s special, but it’s even more special to win a race in KBM’s backyard. A celebration is already underway for Busch after once again showing how much talent he has by taking home another win. Busch hopes to duplicate his performance tomorrow night and take home the million dollar prize in the Sprint All-Star Race.
