Kyle Busch dominates NASCAR Truck Series race at Las Vegas

Five days after winning at Auto Club Speedway in his second NASCAR Cup Series race in a Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, Busch powered his own Kyle Busch Motorsports Chevy to victory in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

Despite a couple of twitchy moments in traffic, Busch dominated Friday night's Victoria's Voice Foundation 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, leading 84 of 134 laps and beating runner-up Zane Smith to the finish line by 4.981 seconds.

The victory was Busch's first of the season, the fourth at his home track and the 63rd of his career, extending his own series record.

After a restart on Lap 66, Busch stormed into the lead two circuits later and built an advantage that, at its widest, exceeded seven seconds. It was his first race in the No. 51 truck after KBM switched from Toyota to Chevrolet for the 2023 season.

Friday's victory was the first in a potential weekend triple. Busch is competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday and the NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday.

"There were a couple dicey moments in traffic—not too bad—but I would have loved to have raced with Zane," said Busch, who won the pole in Friday afternoon's qualifying session. "They kind of got off strategy where we were able to cycle up , and we got clean air for most of the start of that last run.

"He came through the field and got to second, and we kind of maintained. If we'd have been able to race it out, it would have been a hell of a show. But all in all, just a great night here, to be able to win in Las Vegas again—and you've got to win the first to be able to win all three. Right?"

Smith, the reigning series champion, won the race's first stage and led eight laps.

"I'm happy with our day," Smith said. "We had a really good Speedco Ford. Happy with our stage win. Got shuffled back there in one of those late-race restarts and just kind of let Kyle get away—and it's so hard executing pit road chasing him.

"Still happy with our day—another good points day. Create some momentum and go on to the next one."

Ben Rhodes ran third, followed by Corey Heim and Ty Majeski. Christian Eckes, second stage winner Carson Hocevar, Chase Purdy, Grant Enfinger and rookie Jake Garcia completed the top 10.

Fifth-place qualifier Hailie Deegan crashed out in a backstretch wreck with John Hunter Nemechek and Ross Chastain on Lap 60 to cause the sixth and final caution of the race.
