Brooklyn, MICHIGAN--- Kyle Busch is sure letting us know that he's still got it.

On a late restart with 6 laps to go, Ryan Blaney charged to the lead, but Busch took the lead with 3 laps to go.

Finishing 2nd was Blaney, Erik Jones finished 3rd, Johnny Sauter finished 4th, and Austin Dillon finished 5th to round out the Top-5.

This is Busch's second truck series win this season in only two starts this year in the series. Also, those two starts and two wins were the last two (today's race being one of them).

The race had a very early incident on lap 4 when Ray Black Jr. spun, which brought out the first caution.

On lap 83, Cody Coughli, who was making his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut with Kyle Busch Motorsports today, and Ben Kennedy, were involved in an on-track incident that left both with very heavy damage.

Kyle Busch was leading when that caution came out.

When we went back to green after that caution, Matt Crafton and John Wes Towny wrecked right at the wave of the green flag. 

Or, at least one of them did. Crafton made a crazy save and received no damage whatsoever. Austin Dillon had taken the lead back from Kyle Busch on that restart, but Busch took it back just before the incident.
