Kyle Busch wins third straight Atlanta NASCAR Truck race with late charge

Nine of Kyle Busch’s record 68 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series wins have come at EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta), including the last three with Spire. Today, he bested Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Ben Rhodes, and Stewart Friesen in a thrilling battle for the win, and captured the checkered flag after a helpful push from teammate Carson Hocevar.

"Finally, I win one that he's here," said Busch of his son Brexton, who joined the post-race celebrations. Huge help from behind. Carson Hocevar was a great teammate today. Early on in the race, I was like, wait a second, okay, same old Carson. But as we got towards the end, we started working together and we started being able to maneuver our way through. The second stage there, I was behind him, pushing him, we were able to go forward, and then there at the end, he was my wingman."
