#75-David Starr spent the last 27 laps of Friday’s Chevy Silverado 150 holding off pole winner #16-Jack Sprague through two cautions and beat Sprague to the checkers by .297 seconds at Phoenix International Raceway for his second NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory of the season. On Lap 123 of 150, race leader #1-Ted Musgrave quickly fell off the pace when his left-front tire went flat, putting Starr in the lead. #30-Todd Bodine and Sprague remained in the hunt, until Bodine fell off the pace with a loose wheel on a restart on Lap 141. That left Sprague to hunt down Starr. #6-Matt Crafton finished third, #15-Shane Hmiel fourth and #23-Johnny Benson completed the top-five. #4-Bobby Hamilton, with help of his seventh-place finish, moved back atop the series standings. He has a seven-point lead with two races remaining over #46-Dennis Setzer, who finished ninth. The race was slowed six times by caution for 36 laps. There were four lead changes among four different drivers.(ThatsRacin)
