10/27/2007 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch captured Saturday afternoon's EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 200 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The No.51 Chevrolet crossed the finish line 0.971 second ahead of Ron Hornaday Jr. but Hornaday Jr.'s finish was good enough to give him the series points lead.
The victory was Busch's first win in eight starts this season and fifth of his truck career.
Hornaday Jr. brought the field to the green flag for 130 laps of tight high- speed racing. But right beside him was the points leader and they raced into the first turn, side-by-side. Hornaday Jr. held off Skinner to lead the first lap and gain five important bonus points.
But while Hornaday Jr. had his eye on Skinner, Busch slipped underneath both drivers to grab the lead on lap three. Busch quickly moved out to a one and-a-half second lead over Skinner.
Before 20 laps were completed Hornaday Jr. got around Skinner for second place and it appeared Skinner was just cruising around waiting for later in the race.
Busch was still the leader on lap 31 when the caution flag flew for the first time. All the leaders pitted for fuel and tires. Skinner's crew decided on a two-tire stop and the decision gave him the race lead. Mark Martin also beat Busch off pit road to grab second place.
Two laps into the green-flag run Hornaday Jr. charged into the lead from fourth place. Busch was still fast after the stop and got around Skinner for second place.
A crash involving Josh Wise, Clay Rogers and Chad Chaffin on lap 46 slowed the action.
Most of the leaders stayed out, but Skinner needed to change tires because of a problem and it left him at the back in 17th place.
The race restarted on lap 54 and amazingly, the "King of Restarts" as Hornaday Jr. is known, was beaten into the first turn by Busch. Busch ran with the clean air and rebuilt his lead to almost one second. Then Hornaday Jr. fought back and on lap 67 slipped below Busch to take the lead back.
Meanwhile, by lap 60 Skinner was already up to 12th place and he cracked the top-10 on lap 68.
Another caution flag slowed the pace and all the leaders pitted. Busch was the big winner with Johnny Benson and Martin just behind. Hornaday Jr. seemed to have a slow stop and fell from first to fourth. Benson must have really found the setup, because he charged past Busch for the lead and built the lead to one second in just a few laps.
Now Hornaday Jr. got around Busch who seemed to be using up his tires quicker than the other leaders. By lap 102 Hornaday Jr caught and passed Benson for the lead.
A caution flag with 25 laps to go (Jack Sprague accident) set up the final stops and the run to the checkered flag
This time the No.33 KHI pit crew did the job and Hornaday Jr. beat everyone back onto the track. Joey Clanton was second with Benson third.
Hornaday Jr. got a good restart, but the man on the move was Busch who charged through the field like a hot knife through butter. He was fourth with 18 laps to go and second with 16 laps remaining. Benson fought back and retook second, but Busch still held the inside lane and wasn't giving up.
A dozen laps to go and four trucks were left with a chance for the win - Hornaday Jr., Benson, Busch and Martin. Then a caution flag on lap 118 when Chad McCumbee's truck left some fluid on the track to slow the race to a crawl.
They restarted on lap 122 and Busch charged to the lead building the margin to four lengths with six laps to go. He kept it going and flew to the checkered flag unchallenged the rest of the way.
Benson, Martin and Skinner completed the top-five.
Despite finishing a solid fifth, Skinner lost his championship lead to Hornaday Jr. He will go to the next race, at the Texas Motor Speedway, four points back (3,547 - 3,543).

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
