Kevin Harvick (Chevy No 2) won the Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Craftsman Truck race on Friday evening at the Phoenix International Raceway but the championship is far from decided with only one race to go!

Indeed, contender Ron Hornaday (Chevy No 33) crashed at the very beginning of the race involving Kyle Busch (Tundra No 51) and Canadian J.R. Fitzpatrick (Chevy No 71) who had qualified very well.

Ironically, later on, point leader Johnny Benson (Tundra No 23) also crashed!

At the end, Hornaday was credited with the 25th place, Benson with the 26th and Fitzpatrick, the 30th.

Benson still leads the series with only one race to go, Homestead, but only with three points.

Kyle Busch finished second in the race followed by veteran Todd Bodine (Tundra No 30).
