Mark Martin wins Dover Craftsman Truck race

SPEED decided to run Friday's AAA Insurance 200 Craftsman Truck race at Dover, DE on a tape delay basis in prime time. This is the first time they've done that and I'm not sure if they will do that again. David Reutimann won the pole but any race Mark Martin is in makes him the favourite.



Kyle Busch-#51 National Land Liquidators Chevy dominated the first part of the race but lost his chance for the win when he was black flagged when one of his hood pins came out. Busch finished tenth.



This gave Mark Martin-#6 Scott's Miracle Gro Ford the lead. David Reutimann-#17 Toyota took two tires on his final pit stop to take the lead but Martin easily retook the lead after the restart and won the race. Carl Edwards-#50 Ortho Ford had problems in the pits or likely would have won. He finished second. Todd Bodine still leads the points race.
