Colin Braun passed a dominate Kyle Busch for the lead and held on for the final 24 laps on the way to his first truck win."What an awesome truck... You poured your hearts into this," Braun told his crew. "It was cool to beat Kyle, and it was also cool to beat Toyotas here." By 'here' meaning Michigan International Speedway's close location to Ford's homebase and near Jack Roush's Roush Enterprises and Roush Performance Livonia-based headquarters, located about 45 minutes away.
It's the first win for Braun in 35 Camping World Truck Series races. It also marks win #50 for owner Jack Roush in the series.
Kyle Busch led four times for 62 of 100 laps. “It was unfortunate,” Busch said. “I had a lapped truck that couldn't hold his line. I tried to go low and when we went into the corner, the hole closed up. My fault there. That was a pass for the lead, that was the win. Whoever got out front, it seemed, was able to hold it.”
Pole sitter Brian Ickler finished 3rd followed by Matt Crafton and Mike Skinner.
