Alright, Ty Dillon outduels Kyle Busch to grab his first career NASCAR Truck Series victory in the Jeff Foxworthy Grit Chips 200 at Atlanta.

What do you think? 
Wow, in a Truck race that saw most of the hype centered around Kyle Busch making his first start of 2012 and him racing against his brother Kurt Busch tonight. It was Ty Dillon that stole the show by making a late race pass for the lead on Kyle Busch to capture his first Camping World Truck Series victory at Atlanta. Ty Dillon now 3rd in points and only 9 points back. Also a tip of the hat to James Buescher, Parker Kligerman and Aric Almirola who rounded out the top 5.

A side note, in watching the Truck race, while Kyle Busch did led several laps in the race, he was nowhere near the strongest or fastest truck in the field and to me that means these Truck Series regulars have come along way in talent and racing hard. What a cool thing to see and that a Busch Brother didn't win this race.
