NASCAR TRUCK SERIES Gaughan is the ninth different winner

In the nine truck races at The Milwaukee Mile, all had different winners.
WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) -- Brendan Gaughan overcame a mistake on the next-to-last lap, and became the ninth different winner in nine NASCAR truck series races at The Milwaukee Mile.
Gaughan, whose four-length lead over Jason Leffler hardly could have been considered comfortable, overdrove the third turn and nearly lost control of his Dodge.
"This is the toughest track we race on, and you can easily mess yourself up," Gaughan said.
Leffler, also in a Dodge, cut the margin to a length, but couldn't close any further as Gaughan recovered to win the GNC Live Well 200. It was his second victory of the season.
"With one lap to go I got on the bottom," Gaughan explained. "He couldn't get to us."
Drove conservatively
Leffler, passed by Gaughan for the lead on the 147th of 200 laps, drove conservatively, believing that he might have a better handling truck at the end.
"I banked on his truck going away, but it stayed under him pretty good," Leffler said.
The margin of victory was about 10 lengths. Gaughan, who won $48,560, averaged a track record 109.671 mph in a race slowed only once by caution.
Gaughan, the 2002 Rookie of the Year, also took the lead in the Craftsman series by a point over Bobby Hamilton and third-place finisher Rick Crawford. Hamilton, who led by 84 points entering the season's ninth event, retired with engine failure after 124 laps and finished 29th.
The victory was the fourth for Gaughan in the series, but first away from Texas Motor Speedway.
Traded lead 8 times
Crawford, driving a Ford, also was among the six drivers who traded the lead eight times. He was in the lead when the trucks pitted for the final time on lap 134, but came out third.
Ted Musgrave was fourth in another Dodge, followed by the Chevrolet of Dennis Setzer.
Travis Kvapil was next, followed by pole-sitter and defending race champion Terry Cook.
Hank Parker Jr., Matt Crafton and Jon Wood completed the top 10.
