LOUDON, N.H. -- NASCAR Winston Cup Series veteran Jimmy Spencer withstood a furious final challenge from Raybestos Rookie Carl Edwards to win Saturday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series New Hampshire 200 at New Hampshire International Speedway.
Spencer, who started his Team ASE Racing/Carquest Dodge from the Bud Pole, edged Edwards' Superchips Ford by .661 second after the pair traded paint with 16 laps remaining in the 200-lap race around the 1.058-mile speedway.
Spencer, who won in his second series appearance, was the eighth different driver to win in as many events at NHIS. He is the season's 11th different winner. Spencer won at an average speed of 103.867 mph and led 124 laps. He's the first pole starter to win a race since October 2002, when David Starr was victorious at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
