BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) Brad Keselowski earned his first NASCAR Truck Series win on Thursday.

Keselowski passed defending champion Kyle Busch with 75 laps to go and held off Busch's teammate Darrell Wallace Jr. in the UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Wallace closed to Keselowski's back bumper with two laps left, but drifted high in turn one and Keselowski pulled away.

Four-time Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr. finished third, followed by Matt Crafton and series points leader Johnny Sauter. Busch crashed with 22 laps left and finished 24th.
