Kyle Busch overcame multiple interruptions in the final laps to win his sixth race in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series at Texas Motor Speedway. He edged out Corey Heim by a narrow margin of .112 seconds in the thrilling SpeedyCash.com 250 race on Friday. With this victory, Busch ties Todd Bodine's record for most wins at this track and collects his fourth consecutive win in truck competitions he has raced here.

Heim, driver of the TRICON Garage Toyota number 11, achieved his seventh consecutive top-10 of the season, making this the second closest finish recorded at this track.

The race was characterized by its high competitiveness, especially among the front-runners, with Christian Eckes and Nick Sanchez alternating at the front alongside Heim, all challenging Busch at various points of the night. In the championship standings after this race, Eckes sits in first place, edging out Heim by two points. Majeski, who entered as the championship leader, now sits in third place, 12 points behind the leader.
