Kyle Busch won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Friday night at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, after engine trouble caused Ben Rhodes to drop back.
Rhodes, driving a Toyota, was leading until eight laps left, when his engine quit.
Busch drove a Toyota to the finish line. The Toyota Tundra 250 had four different leaders, with Busch leading in the first two stages of the race.
