    Ron Hornaday Jr. passed Kyle Busch with three laps to go and held him off in overtime to win a NASCAR truck race at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday.

    The victory was the first for the four-time truck series champion in 17 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval, and left him with tears in his eyes when he climbed from his truck.

    "This is unbelievable. I won at Martinsville fair and square," he said.

    The victory is his series-high 47th in the series, but just second this season.

    Busch held on for second, and a grieving Todd Bodine was third. Bodine, the points leader, was racing hours after the death of his mother, and led much of the second half of the race.
