TALLADEGA, ALA. (AP) -- Kyle Busch made a last-ditch move to take the lead from Aric Almirola and win the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series race at Talladega Superspeedway by 0.003 of a second on Saturday.

Busch ducked under Almirola and beat him by a nose as the checkered flag came out.

Almirola finished second, followed by Johnny Sauter, Matt Crafton and Ricky Carmichael.

Almirola complained afterward that Busch went below a yellow out-of-bounds line at the bottom of the track to make the pass.

The always-feared "big one" - a massive wreck unique to Talladega - came with three laps to go, collecting points leader Todd Bodine, contender Ron Hornaday Jr. and several others.
