HAMPTON, Ga. -- A spectacular four-wide pass gave Todd Bodine the lead and the momentum to pick up his first victory of the season Friday night in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Bodine, who finished second behind Nextel Cup star and part-time truck racer Mark Martin in the first two events this season, losing both in overtime duels, was trailing Martin again with five laps to go in regulation in the John Deere 200.

But Martin caught the lapped trucks of Timothy Peters and Boston Reid on lap 126. The leader chose to pass on the low side of the 1.5-mile oval and Bodine made it four-wide, slicing between Peters and Reid.

Bodine nearly lost control, sliding sideways and banging off Peters at the top of the banking, while Martin and Reid also bumped on the low side. All of them were able to keep going, though, with Bodine coming out ahead.  More
