Kyle Busch extends NASCAR Truck win streak with Sonoma victory

A late-race multi-truck wreck sent up a two-lap run to the finish in Saturday’s race at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway.

Zane Smith quickly moved into second but could not make a pass for the lead as Busch won by 1.176 seconds. It’s Busch’s first win in the five starts he’s allowed in the series this season.

Busch has now won at least one race in the Truck Series for 10 consecutive seasons.

“We just continued to work on the truck all weekend and make it better,” Busch said. “We had a struggle at Charlotte a couple weeks ago but today was really good.

“Awesome job by the guys in making adjustments to get us the win today. Yesterday was ugly. I wasn’t sure about it. I didn’t feel good about the truck. They worked on it all night long. We made some great changes and made some chassis changes.

“These guys never stop.”

Ty Majeski finished third, Ross Chastain was fourth and Chandler Smith rounded out the top-five.

Completing the top-10 were Daniel Suarez (who replaced Carson Hocevar in the first stage), Parker Kligerman, John Hunter Nemechek, Tyler Ankrum and Matt DiBenedetto.

Stage 3

Following the break between Stages 2 and 3, a handful of drivers pit but Busch remained on the track and returned to the lead.

Ankrum had an uncontrolled tire during his pit stop prior to the stage break and had to restart from the rear of the field.

When the race returned to green on Lap 50, Busch was followed by Chastain, Alex Bowman, Majeski and Kligerman.

With 20 laps remaining in the race, Busch held a 1.3-second lead over Chastain as Majeski moved into third.

Entering Turn 11 on Lap 61, DiBenedetto got into Stewart Friesen and also toppled over one of the stacks of tires which brought out the fourth caution of the race.

Most of the lead-lap trucks pit with Busch the first off pit road. Ben Rhodes stayed out and inherited the lead. Bowman was penalized for equipment interference during his stop and had to restart from the rear of the field.
