    Johnny Sauter made a miraculous save after a late-race bump and held off hard-charging Ron Hornaday Jr. to win a wild, rain-delayed NASCAR Trucks race Sunday at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan.

    Hornaday, the pole sitter, overcame a troublesome fender rubbing his left rear tire to charge up next to Sauter with 13 laps left. As they tried to pass two lapped cars, Hornaday climbed the track and clipped Sauter, sending the cars into almost 45-degree slides at over 150 mph.

    The drivers, who also collided at Martinsville, made grip-the-steering-wheel saves, straightening out their cars as white smoke billowed from the wheels. Sauter bumped the wall in the collision and pulled away for his second career trucks win.
