TALLADEGA, Ala.—Kyle Busch used a generous bump from teammate Aric Almirola a few hundred yards from the finish to win the Mountain Dew 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway yesterday. Busch and Almirola pulled wide behind leader Todd Bodine on the final lap, and Almirola nudged Busch’s No. 51 Toyota to the front.
