Harvick dominated the Busch race today at Atlanta..... but...
Kyle B takes the lead late in the race and wins back to back races at Atlanta (he had won this race last year).

Kyle B will be running later today in the Truck Camping Series too.....

sweep, sweep ... horay !!!


Kyle B has 3 trucks in the race (he owns the race team)
They are starting 1 , 2 and 3 , with C. Bell on the Pole
The 18 truck spins out early thou
Kyle B in the 51 truck, is currently running in second behind his team mate

Pole-sitter, Cristopher Bell takes the win at Camping Trucks today.
Kyle B was there but dropped back to about mid pack late in the race.

I gonna go out on limb and take Matt Kenseth to win today

[dara]

Looks like Harvick blew it. Too fast entering on the last pit.

[dara]

Congrats to Brad K, even with the extra pit stop!

[crazed 9.6]

yea, that was messed up
Harvick sure was moving to get up there in top 10 thou...wow !

Thought my guy Kenseth mighta had a chance there near the end
