SPARTA, Ky. (AP) -- Bobby Hamilton became the first three-time winner this season on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, rallying to win the rain-delayed Built Ford Tough 225 on Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway.
The 47-year-old Hamilton dominated most of the race, but still needed a dramatic rally on a restart following a caution with two laps to go. Hamilton dipped his Dodge inside Jack Sprague's Chevrolet and held off Sprague by 0.179 seconds.
Sprague took the lead on a restart on lap 146 of the scheduled 150-lap race, but the race went back to caution on lap 149 when Rick Crawford's truck spun into the infield. Series rules dictate that a race must finish with two green-flag laps, so the field ran under caution for three laps before green-flag racing resumed.
