08/28/2010 - Joliet, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch won his fourth consecutive NASCAR national touring series race by taking Friday night's EnjoyIllinois.com 225 at Chicagoland Speedway.
Busch, who won the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck Series races at Bristol last week, put on a dominating performance, but had to hold off a furious charge from pole sitter Todd Bodine in the closing laps to claim his fourth victory of the season and the 20th of his truck career.
"Todd ran me down and probably was going to pass me there, but I got a run on the outside, and I think he slipped a little bit," said Busch, who also won this race at Chicagoland last year.
Busch led a total of 121 laps, but had to charge from sixth to first after a late-race round of pit stops under caution. He passed Bodine with 24 laps remaining. Bodine chased him down shortly after and made several attempts to reclaim the lead.
The fifth caution for Timothy Peters' blown engine set up a green-white- checkered finish. Busch easily pulled away from Bodine after the final restart and then beat him at the finish by 0.19 seconds.
"Second stinks," Bodine jokingly said. "Right there at the end with Kyle, I had him on the outside, and he pinched me up into the wall, and then I had him on the inside, and I got loose going into [turn] three. It was good racing with him."
Busch is now tied with Bodine for fourth on the series' all-time race winners list.
Ron Hornaday Jr. finished third, followed by Johnny Sauter and Justin Lofton.
Aric Almirola, Matt Crafton, Rick Crawford, Austin Dillon and David Starr completed the top-10.
Bodine increased his lead to 236 points over Almirola with eight races remaining in the season.
Busch will attempt to win his fifth straight national touring race next Friday when the Truck Series competes at Kentucky Speedway.
