SPARTA, Kentucky --- Kyle Busch came up five spots short in his bid to make NASCAR history Saturday night and Johnny Benson took advantage, holding off Michael Annett to win the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway.

Busch was attempting to become the first driver to win in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, Nationwide Series and Craftsman Truck Series in successive starts. He won the Nationwide Series' Dollar General 300 on July 11 and the Nextel Cup's Lifelock.com 400 the following night.

The early portion of the trucks race featured a number of yellow flags, and nine of the first 24 laps were run under caution. There were eight cautions overall, slowing drivers for a total of 36 laps. There was also a 10-minute, 34-second stoppage for track repairs following a red flag.

Benson grabbed the lead in the truck series points race by one over third-place finisher Matt Crafton. Previous points leader Ron Hornaday finished 10th, dropping him to third in the standings.

INDYCAR: In Lexington, Ohio, Scott Dixon heads into today's Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with a series-leading four wins and the points lead.

That's a step up from last year, when the New Zealander left Mid-Ohio with three consecutive victories but still trailed and eventually lost to champion Dario Franchitti by 24 points.

Still, with six races remaining on the 2008 schedule and leads of 63 points over Mid-Ohio pole- winner Helio Castroneves and 69 over his Chip Ganassi teammate Dan Wheldon, Dixon insisted it's too early to be thinking points.

"I think for us, you still go out and try to win races," he said Saturday after qualifying. "If you can win races, it's the easiest way to win championships."

FORMULA ONE: In Hockenheim, Germany, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton edged Felipe Massa on the final lap to take the pole position for the German Grand Prix.

Hamilton went around in 1 minute, 15.666 seconds on his last lap to beat the Ferrari driver by 0.193 seconds and start first on the grid for the third time this season.

"I knew I had it in me, I knew we had the pace," Hamilton said. "I'm really happy with it."
