TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Kyle Busch got a generous bump from teammate Aric Almirola a few hundred yards from the finish to win the NASCAR Camping World Trucks race at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday.

Busch and Almirola pulled wide behind leader Todd Bodine on the final lap and Almirola nudged Busch's No. 51 Toyota to the front. They overtook Bodine just before the finish line in the fading daylight at the massive 2.66-mile oval.

The win was Busch's sixth in the Trucks series this season and his fourth in his last four starts.

Bodine, who was looking for his fifth consecutive win in a restrictor-plate race, was third. Terry Cook was fourth, followed by David Starr.

Points leader Ron Hornaday Jr. was collected in an 11-car pileup with five laps remaining and finished 17th.

Chrissy Wallace, making her first Trucks start, finished 13th, while father Mike wound up 28th.
