CONCORD, N.C. (AP) Kyle Busch showed he can still be dominant in the NASCAR Truck Series, even when facing adversity.

Busch overcame a costly penalty to snap a seven-race drought on the Truck Series by winning Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Busch dominated the race early, but had to overcome a penalty for leaving the pit stall with a gas can still in his truck, a mistake that forced him to the back of the pack on lap 84 of 134. However, he battled back from 19th place in the No. 51 Toyota for his first Truck victory since Sept. 24, 2011, at Loudon, N.H.
