AVONDALE, Ariz. -- NASCAR's Truck Series has itself a spicy championship fight, with teenager smack in the middle of the controversy, after a heated Friday night race at Phoenix Raceway.
The race was stopped three times in the final 20 laps for accident cleanup, including the mess created when Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates Noah Gragson and Christopher Bell wrecked each other racing for the lead. The night went so long, a football game between Stanford and Washington had to be moved to another network, so defending series champion Johnny's Sauter victory celebration was abbreviated.
