Bodine edges Crawford and Benson for Talladega Truck win
Quote selected text Published October 6th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Todd Bodine barely held off Rick Crawford and Johnny Benson in a three-wide finish Saturday in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Bodine, the reigning truck champion, was out front for a restart with two laps to go on the 2.66-mile oval, with Crawford and Benson close behind in a single-file line of competitors. It stayed that way until the final corner of the 94-lap race, when Crawford drove high on the steeply banked track and Benson, a former series champion, ducked below Bodine.
That’s the way they finished, with Bodine beating Crawford by 0.014 seconds.
