BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Kyle Busch's eventful day included a trip to victory lane.
Busch passed Ryan Blaney with four laps remaining Saturday and won the NASCAR Truck Series Careers for Veterans 200 at Michigan International Speedway. The victory came after he wrecked his Sprint Cup car during a morning practice, and then was penalized on lap 27 of the truck race for speeding on pit road.
After being sent to the rear, he made his way all the way back in his No. 51 Toyota and battled with Blaney through the final few laps.
"These trucks tend to put on a good show," Busch said. "You can kind of draft back up on guys and use the bottom, use the top, kind of work around a little bit."
Blaney took the lead with six laps remaining after a restart, but Busch eventually moved back in front for his 44th victory on the series. He has won each of his two truck starts this year.
Busch is seven victories shy of Ron Hornaday Jr.'s career record for the series. It was Busch's first truck victory at Michigan in nine starts.
Erik Jones finished third in his No. 4 Toyota in Saturday's 100-lap, 200-mile race.
