[/media-credit]“On the restart, when Jason White was on my inside, I figured if I could just get another good restart where I didn’t spin my tires, I’d be all right. Those guys spun their tires every time, and it kind of worked for us.” Busch said.
This is also Busch’s 98th NASCAR career win, placing him third all-time (29-NSCS, 48-NNS).
Brendan Gaughan finished third, Todd Bodine fourth and Jason White finished fifth.
Despite finishing 24th after his truck broke its rear axle, series points leader Johnny Sauter extended his lead to 23 points over Cole Whitt.
