MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Jack Sprague took the lead when NASCAR took it away from Ted Musgrave with 61 laps to go Saturday and won for the first time in 13 career starts at tight and tricky Martinsville Speedway in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series.

The victory was the 27th for the three-time series champion, second only to Ron Hornaday's 29, and his second this season. He also won at Memphis in July.

"To win at Martinsville is unbelievable," Sprague said in Victory Lane. "I'm terrible here, so this is really cool. It might be one of my new favorite places."

Musgrave, who was hoping to run the entire 200-lap race without a pit stop, grabbed the lead from Sprague on the 34th lap and held it through several restarts until the 138th lap, when he was penalized for an improper restart after several warnings.   More
