DOVER, Del. (May 30, 2008) Making the most of his sixth start in NASCAR’s Craftsman Truck Series — and capitalizing on transmission troubles that temporarily sidelined Kyle Busch’s dominant Toyota — former Formula 1 driver Scott Speed ran away from the field after a late restart to win the AAA Insurance 200 on Friday at Dover International Speedway.
Speed, whose previous best finish was eighth at Kansas Speedway, is the third straight first-time winner in the series, following Matt Crafton (Lowe’s Motor Speedway) and Donny Lia (Mansfield, Ohio) to victory lane.
