LAS VEGAS -- Polesitter Travis Kvapil broke away from a tight pack with four laps to go and held on Saturday night to win the Smith's Las Vegas 350, while former Formula One champion Jacques Villeneuve was 21st in his Craftsman Truck Series debut.
Kvapil pulled away from Johnny Benson and Jon Wood at the end to match Mike Skinner and Ron Hornaday for the series lead with his fourth victory of the year.
"It was sort of an amazing finish," Kvapil said. "Those last handful of laps I was running wide open on the outside of turns one and two, but the 23 [Benson] could run wide open on the bottom. It just made for some great racing.
"The 21 [Wood] got loose once under me and I heard him pedal the gas, doing everything he could to not wreck us but still go for the victory. Those guys did an amazing job, and we ran a great race for everybody."

Good race. Would have been nice to see Wood get in victory lane. The Woods need someone to put them back on the map.

Yes it was a good race. But trucks always are. I was hoping so bad that Jon Wood would have won.
