Kyle Busch at Nashville


Truck: Busch led 131 of 150 laps and took the checkered flag for the first time in his own Kyle Busch Motorsports equipment. Constantly at the front of the pack, he beat Kevin Harvick to get his second guitar in Nashville.

Nationwide: Busch started fourth at the race he is defending and won in his truck yesterday. Throughout the first half of the race, he complained about his car and did not lead any laps. After the red flag was lifted on lap 121, Busch was seventh. He doubled his placement by lap 137 on the next restart after the next caution, starting 14th. Seven laps later he was in fourth. With 50 laps left and fuel and pit strategy talk flying around, Busch was in third. The guys in the broadcast booth predicted if the race stayed green, he would be the only one who could make it all the way. When Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano pitted under green to get fuel and new tires, Busch took over the lead. He fell back to second after a caution on lap 191. At the checkered flag, Busch took third place.
