Buescher, who started the night fourth in the series driver standings, took the lead for the first time just 27 laps into the 150-circuit race and dominated the rest of the way.
It was his second career Truck Series victory, following a win this year at Kansas. He also won the season-opening Nationwide race at Daytona.
The temperature was 98 degrees — on the track it was 117 — when the race began.
Pole-sitter Matt Crafton led before Buescher took over and didn't let go.
Sprint Cup driver Brad Keselowski started 17th but climbed back to finish second. Ty Dillon was third.
