Kyle Busch won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ DoorDash 250 at Sonoma Raceway Saturday (June 11).
Busch got by Chastain in stage one and only relinquished the lead when he pitted.
It’s his first Truck victory of the year and 62nd of his career.
Zane Smith placed second after a late surge to the front, while ThorSport Racing’s Ty Majeski was third. Ross Chastain and Chandler Smith rounded out the top five.
Stage one featured a spin and a tight battle for the lead on the final lap of the stage. The race started with Ross Chastain shooting out to an early lead ahead of Kyle Busch and Ty Majeski. Though there was some action throughout the field, there was only one spinout by Stewart Friesen. He eventually got back to the top 10 by stage two after getting his lap back.
Carson Hocevar, who won his first pole, crashed in qualifying and dropped to the rear, went to pit road on lap 12 for a driver swap with Daniel Suarez. Hocevar broke his tibia in a crash at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway last week.
As the laps wound down in stage one, Chastain, Busch and Alex Bowman pitted just before the end of the stage, surrendering the lead to Majeski. Tyler Ankrum started challenging the No. 66 for the lead on the final lap, but Majeski held him off to claim his first stage win of the year.
Several trucks had some penalties and troubles on pit road, including John Hunter Nemechek, who had a slow stop, and Harrison Burton whose hood was up. FOX Sports reported that the No. 17 truck was down on power.
Stage two saw a bit more action, at least the first couple of laps. On lap 26 Grant Enfinger got into the back of Friesen, hit a curb and spun around with no harm done. The same couldn’t be said for Christian Eckes, however, as he got turned while racing with Nemechek. He slid through the dirt and hit the wall. The team later took the truck to the garage.
