James Buescher took a comfortable win in Saturday afternoon's
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway, leading for over two thirds of the race distance and finishing over five seconds ahead of championship leader Timothy Peters.
It's Buescher's first Truck series victory in 76 starts and moves him up in second place in the championship standings just 4pts behind Peters.
Earlier in the day, Tim George Jr. had claimed pole position for the SFP 250 race, his first pole in just four series starts. Jason Leffler had joined George Jr. on the front row. Behind them, Justin Lofton and Jason White had started from the second row, with the highest placed rookie Ty Dillon starting from fifth place alongside eventual race winner Buescher in sixth.
