Timothy Peters took advantage of a rare mistake by Ron Hornaday Jr. on the last restart at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to win the Smith’s 350 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.

Peters started 12th and when the last caution came out late in the race, he was running second to Hornaday, who is known for his prowess on restarts. When the green flag flew with two laps to go, Hornaday spun his tires and Peters powered to the lead.

Logano started on the pole and led until Kyle Busch took over the top spot on lap 19. A Brian Scott spin on lap 26 started the strategy frenzy. Most cars stayed out while some pitted under the yellow, but another caution less than ten laps later brought in most of the cars. Logano pitted under the second caution while Kyle Busch stayed out and remained the leader. Continue reading →
