On frontstretch of the last lap while rim riding the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway, Kyle Busch and teammate Aric Almirola whipped by leader Todd Bodine to streak across the finish line 1-2 to win Saturday’s Mountain Dew 250. For Busch, it was his fifth consecutive Camping World Truck Series race win in the jet black the number 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra.

“That was unbelievable,” Busch said. “I owe everything to Aric Almirola. … It was a lot of fun today.

“It was a lot of fun today and there were a lot of moments that got a little bit hairy and sketchy, but it was an awesome day,” he added.

When the green flag was thrown, Colin Braun took the lead, the field going five-wide on the very first lap.

The first yellow came on Lap 7, when T.J. Bell cut down a right-front tire. From there, the majority of the field idled down pit road. The race restarted on Lap 11, with Braun still out front. Just past the 25% mark of the 94-lap race, Mike Skinner and Busch led a charge to the high line, trying to challenge Braun on the bottom. Skinner and Busch, running in tandem and working very well in the draft, took the lead from Braun. Bodine and Hornaday soon made it a four-way battle for the lead, as the racing starting to intensify as the laps went on.

With just under 30 laps to go, Bodine headed Starr, Skinner, Busch and Almirola on the restart. After a few caution periods, the green came out with 12 laps to go. Bodine led Starr, Skinner, Busch and Almirola. With seven laps left, Busch and Almirola jumped to the outside lane, and they swung by Bodine into the lead.

On Lap 90, a huge crash ensued when The Big One happened on the backstretch, Hornaday, Peters, Skinner, Papis, Rick Crawford, Scott, Chad McCumbee, James Buescher, Ricky Carmichael all caught up in the mess. That set up a green-white-checkered finish. Busch led Almirola and Starr, but Bodine went high and took the lead before they hit the one to go mark. On the last lap, Matt Crafton went high and almost got the lead, but at the line Busch and Almirola jumped out and gave team owner Billy Ballew a 1-2 finish.
