MEXICO CITY -- Martin Truex Jr. proved he was the king of Busch Series racing in the United States by winning the championship in 2004.

Sunday, he proved he could do just fine outside the United States, too.

Truex Jr. dominated the historic Telcel Motorola 200 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, winning the first Busch Series race ever contested on foreign soil.

Truex Jr., who won six times en route to the title last year, scored his first Busch victory of the season. Driving for Chance 2 Motorsports, Truex ran up front nearly all race long.

He was beneficiary of a lucky break just past halfway when he made a pit stop as the leader moments before a caution waved. The pit stop was legal, and after the remaining leaders pitted, Truex Jr. moved up to fourth. More
