More News: NASCAR Truck Rookie Celebrates Atlanta Motor Speedway Pole PositionReflecting on his win, Busch explained to the media, as quoted by Motorsport.com:”Just trying to make sure I stayed as far forward as I possibly could.”Those guys would kind of cycle to me and I’d get to the next one in front of me, next one in front of me, next one in front of me — and I kept trying to make sure that I battled back and I got back to that front so I could try and control it the best that I could.”But that inside [line] was good. They were rolling forward so it made for heck of a race. Proud that we had a heck of a race there at the finish and it wasn’t single-file so there was some mixing it up for these fans out here to see a cool show.”The early laps of the race were led by Connor Mosack and Grant Enfinger. As the race progressed, several cautions due to collisions and other incidents led to shuffled positions on the track. The final stretches of the race saw Friesen almost clinching victory, only for Busch to secure the win with a precise side draft.For the latest NASCAR news, head over to Newsweek Sports.NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series: Fr8 Racing 208 At Atlanta Motor Speedway ResultsKyle Busch – RunningStewart Friesen – RunningTyler Ankrum – RunningBayley Currey – RunningChandler Smith – RunningKaden Honeycutt – RunningBen Rhodes – RunningTy Majeski – RunningJake Garcia – RunningGrant Enfinger – RunningGio Ruggiero – RunningMichael McDowell – RunningMatt Mills – RunningLuke Fenhaus – RunningTanner Gray – RunningDaniel Hemric – RunningDawson Sutton – RunningJosh Reaume – RunningSpencer Boyd – RunningLayne Riggs – RunningJack Wood – RunningMatt Crafton – RunningCorey Heim – RunningToni Breidinger – RunningConnor Mosack – RunningFrankie Muniz – AccidentAndres Perez de Lara – AccidentJustin Carroll – MechanicalRajah Caruth – AccidentWilliam Sawalich – AccidentNathan Byrd – MechanicalKeith McGee – Mechanical
