Todd Bodine held off Kyle Busch to win the opening NASCAR truck race of the season at Daytona International Speedway on Friday.
Bodine became the first repeat winner in the event's 10-year history, fending off a pair of last-lap moves by Busch to take the 250-mile race by a few lengths. The victory was the fourth in a row for Bodine's No. 30 Toyota in a restrictor-plate race.
Busch, who won three truck races while running a part-time schedule last year, tried to dip below Bodine on the final lap but couldn't find any room to squeeze past.
Defending series champion Johnny Benson finished 26th, and Ron Hornaday was fifth.
