FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -Kyle Busch started his Texas tripleheader with another NASCAR Trucks Series victory.
Busch has won each of his last five truck races, extending the streak that began at Bristol in August when he beat Matt Crafton by 0.725 seconds at the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked Texas track Friday night. Busch has won seven times this 13 starts this season in the No. 51 Toyota, and been outside the top two only three times.
Series points leader Ron Hornaday was third, nearly 10 seconds behind Crafton, his closest competitor for the season title. Hornaday has a 197-point lead with two races left.
Busch passed Hornaday on lap 98, the bump move between turns 3 and 4 getting Hornaday loose, though he managed to keep the No. 33 Chevrolet off the wall.
