Carson Hocevar wins NASCAR Truck Series race at Texas in OT

Just as he did at Talladega, Hocevar did his celebratory burnout while partially hanging out of his No. 77 Chevrolet while the Texas crowd chanted his name.

It looked like Hocevar's chances of winning Friday's race were dashed after a 24-second pit stop during the race's final run. However, a caution with 20 laps to go re-racked the field and put Hocevar back in contention. 

Hocevar won the race despite reporting a loose wheel to his team over the radio under the aforementioned caution period. 

Kyle Busch took second with half a lap to go after Ruggiero, Kaden Honeycutt and Layne Riggs slipped on the exit of turn 2. 

A pair of late cautions occurred after a thrilling battle for the lead between Honeycutt, Hocevar and Busch, sending the race into overtime.

Busch rebounded after slapping the outside wall in Stage 1 and being forced to come down pit road. 

Notable results

Busch finished runner-up to Hocevar, with Honeycutt, Brandon Jones and polesitter and Stage 1 winner Ben Rhodes rounding out the top five. Riggs, Daniel Hemric, Christian Eckes, Ty Majeski and Chandler Smith completed the top 10. Ruggiero faded to 14th after getting loose in turn 1 on the final lap. 

Other notable finishers include Parker Kligerman in 11th, Ross Chastain in 12th, William Sawalich in 17th, Toni Breidinger in 18th and Corey LaJoie in 25th.
