May 21, 2016 - 6:59 PM CONCORD, N.C. (AP) Matt Crafton won his second consecutive Trucks Series race by a convincing margin over Kyle Busch at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday.It's the first time in his career Crafton has won back-to-back races.
Crafton, who won last week at Dover, led 47 laps and added to his series points lead. He has won five of his last 11 races on 1.5-mile tracks.
Busch finished second, while Johnny Sauter was third. Tyler Reddick finished fourth and Matt Tifft rounded out the top five.
