Martin Truex Jr. picked the perfect race to make his first Busch Series start of the season.
Truex, the two-time Busch champion who is now a Nextel Cup rookie, returned to his roots Saturday to win his third straight race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Driving a car owned by Dale Earnhardt Inc., Truex celebrated what would have been "The Intimidators" 55th birthday by giving the company yet another restrictor-plate victory.

Tony Stewart walked away unscathed from a frightening accident Saturday when his car flipped onto its roof during the Busch Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Stewart, the defending Nextel Cup champion, was running in third when he drove into Kenny Wallace's path and the two cars touched. The hit wasn't hard, but enough to send Stewart's car airborne.
"I take 100 percent responsibility for this one, I just drove in front of (Wallace's) nose," Stewart said.
