harvick-bristol-truck-raceKevin Harvick won a wild O’Reilly Auto Parts 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck race Wednesday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, his third consecutive series victory.

 

"Three in a row, that's pretty cool," Harvick said.

 

Johnny Sauter's late-race effort came up short with the current point leader posting a second-place finish.

 

Todd Bodine finished third followed by James Buescher and Timothy Peters.

 

Kyle Busch made contact with the outside retaining wall after being hit from behind by polesitter Elliott Sadler midway through the 200-lap race. Busch then drove slow around the track and retaliated when Sadler passed.

 

"We can get as dirty as Kyle Busch wants," said Harvick, who owns Sadler's Nationwide Series team.

 

Harvick and Kyle Busch were tied for the lead in the 2011 Truck Series owner point standings when tonight's race began.
