BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) -- Winston Cup regular Michael Waltrip used a slight bump-and-run to knock Ron Hornaday out of his way Friday night and went on to win the Busch Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Waltrip led earlier in the Food City 250, only to lose the spot to Hornaday when he struggled on a restart.
But he was in position to regain it with 34 laps to go as he followed Hornaday around and around the high-banked .533-mile bullring. As the two cars headed into Turn 4, Waltrip pulled up on Hornaday's bumper and tapped him just enough to loosen him up.
Waltrip then slid low and drove past him, holding on for his first Busch Series win of the year and first since last August at Michigan.
