Last week in Atlanta, NASCAR Craftsman Truck points leader Todd Bodine had a bad race. But second place Johnny Benson broke a driveshaft and Bodine actually extended his lead a bit. With three races left, Friday's Silverado 350 at Texas Motor Speedway could bring Bodine closer to the championship or it could bring Benson closer to Bodine. Clint Bowyer won the pole.
Clint Bowyer-#46 Jack Daniels Chevy led the first part of the race. Debris brings out a caution on lap 44. Everyone pits and Mike Skinner-#5 Toyota takes the lead on the lap 49 restart. Rick Crawford-#14 Circle Bar Truck Stop Ford blows a right front tire and hits the wall to bring out a caution on lap 91. Everyone pits and Skinner has problems on pit road so Bowyer gets the lead back.
Johnny Benson-#23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota is 4th and Todd Bodine-#30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota is in 6th. Benson slows on lap 115 and by lap 125, he's out of the race with engine failure. He finishes 31st. Bodine isn't running that well but finishes 14th. They find out after the race that he had a broken header.
A Kerry Earnhardt-#13 Chevy flat tire and crash brings out a caution on lap 141 and sets up a green/white/checker finish. Kyle Busch-#15 Kyle Busch.com Chevy tries to challenge Clint Bowyer for the win but Bowyer holds him off easily and wins the race. Todd Bodine now leads Johnny Benson by 137 points with two races left. Things look good for Bodine. The Craftsman Truck series is in Phoenix next Friday.
