[/media-credit]Rookie John King survived three green-white-checker flag restarts and won Friday nights NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
King turned race leader Johnny Saunter around on the second green-white-checkers restart, igniting a multi-car crash behind them. NASCAR had to red-flag the race to clean up the track.
The race ended under caution on the third attempt after another multi-car crash. Joey Coulter slammed into the outside wall, lifting off the ground, hitting the catch fence and then back across the track.
This was King’s first NASCAR victory in just eight starts.
Teammate Timothy Peters finished second, giving Red Horse Racing a 1-2 finish in the series opener.
Justin Lofton finished third, Travis Kvapil fourth and Jason White finished fifth.
