Kyle Busch nips Timothy Peters for Truck Series win at Daytona (Video)

By the barest of margins, with a bold move to the outside, Kyle Busch overtook Timothy Peters a few feet short of the finish line Friday night to win the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Daytona International Speedway.

Busch's victory was his first at Daytona in the Truck Series and the 36th of his career. The driver of the No. 51 Tundra gave Toyota its eighth straight Daytona win by .016 seconds.

"Certainly I'm going to cherish this one," Busch said. "It's a big win for KBM (Kyle Busch Motorsports), not necessarily just myself. Certainly, it's great for Toyota, too, and having Toyota get on the truck tonight and being in Victory Lane is pretty special."

In part, though, Busch was already looking ahead toward Saturday and Sunday and the possibility of a weekend sweep that includes Saturday's Nationwide Series race and Sunday's Daytona 500.

"We started the trifecta already, and you've got to win the first one to be able to win all of them," Busch said. "We'll see how (Saturday) goes and see what we can do there."

Johnny Sauter ran third, followed by Ryan Truex and Ron Hornaday Jr. Ryan Blaney, Jeb Burton, Joe Nemechek, Jimmy Weller III and German Quiroga completed the top 10.
