BROOKLYN, Mich. - Regan Smith held off a charge by Kyle Larson on the final lap to win the Nationwide Series Alliance Truck Parts 250 today at Michigan International Speedway.

Austin Dillon, who won his fourth consecutive Nationwide pole this morning, led for the bulk of the first 70 laps but fell back when he pitted on the 70th lap because of a left rear flat tire, and Dillon went into a wall with less than five laps left in the race.

Sam Hornish, Jr., completed 81 laps before white smoke began to billow from his car, and went to the garage, which ended his day. The Defiance native attributed the car issues to debris coming through the car.
