Kyle Busch steals the truck show at Pocono

Kyle Busch led 53 of 69 laps in the Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania on Saturday. The race took all three green-white-checkered attempts to finish, extending the race by 9 laps. It was Busch's first start in the #51 Toyota truck since his injury at Daytona in the Xfinity Series in February. This marks another year with victories in all three top NASCAR series for Busch. Kevin Harvick, driving the part-time #00 Chevrolet for Dale Earnhardt Jr. that already has two wins in a handful of starts, wound up in second. Two other potential contenders, points leader Matt Crafton in the #88 Toyota and Brad Keselowski in the #29 Ford, wrecked on lap 7. Crafton lost the points lead to Keselowski's driver Tyler Reddick (#19) by the end of the race.

Polesitter Erik Jones led the first nine laps around the 2.5-mile triangle in the Kyle Busch-owned #4 Toyota. Crafton's teammate Johnny Sauter (#98) led some laps after Crafton and Keselowski's crash. Crafton and Sauter's third teammate Cameron Hayley (#13) got into contention near the end of the race. Jones got spun by the #33 Chevrolet of Austin Dillon during the first GWC attempt. This also caused the #17 Toyota of Timothy Peters to get a flat tire. John Wes Townley (#05) and Mason Mingus (#15) then tangled during the second attempt to prompt the third one. The trucks next race at Michigan International Speedway on August 15.
