CLERMONT, Ind. -- Jason Leffler's second career NASCAR Busch Series victory was much more memorable than his first.
Leffler took the lead from Greg Biffle with two laps to go in the Kroger 200 on Saturday night and raced to his first Busch win in three years -- and Toyota's first victory ever in the series.
Biffle led in lap 191 before a caution brought the field together at O'Reilly Raceway Park. Leffler took the lead in lap 197, then jockeyed with Biffle for a while before finishing strong.
"This is a lot more exciting to come to the end like that, beating and banging and doing those slide jobs," said Leffler, whose last Busch win came June 12, 2004 in the Federated Auto Parts 300 in Nashville.
He said he expected one of the Toyota drivers, including David Reutimann, Mike Bliss and Dave Blaney, to eventually win. Reutimann finished third and Bliss placed ninth.
