HAMPTON, Ga. -- Gambling on a late pit stop for fresh tires in Saturday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, Kyle Busch charged from eighth to a victory in a three-lap dash that ended with most of the leaders involved in a crash.

Veteran Jack Sprague, with a nearly two-second lead, appeared to have the win wrapped up until debris from series leader Ted Musgrave's shredded tire brought out a caution flag with just eight laps remaining in the 130-lap event at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Busch gave up second place to pit for tires and restarted eighth on Lap 128. He picked his way through traffic and was third heading into the final trip around the 1.5-mile, D-shaped oval.

As the leaders drove onto the final straightaway, Sprague tried to block Busch and pushed him up into the wall, igniting a melee that caught up several other cars including Johnny Benson, Bobby Labonte and Todd Kluever.  More
