LOUDON, N.H. — Johnny Benson got past Kyle Busch an instant before a caution flag froze the field Saturday and never relinquished the top spot, racing away to a win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at New Hampshire International Speedway.

It was the fourth victory of the season for Benson, who had not won a truck race before this year.

Nextel Cup star Busch, making only his fourth truck start of the season, took the lead on lap 121 on a pit stop during one of the 12 caution flags in the 200-lap race and was battling to hold off Benson on lap 167 when Mike Bliss hit the wall.
