Kyle Busch earned his second-consecutive NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) victory in Saturday afternoon’s race at ISM Raceway in Phoenix.
The win marked Busch’s 94th career-NXS win and 83rd behind the wheel of a Camry or Supra.
"ISM Raceway has always been a tricky place for me, but I think we made some positive gains here today. RCR brought another solid No. 2 Hurdl Chevrolet Camaro to the track, which helped me figure out a couple more things about this track. The balance of our Camaro was great all race long, just building tight a little bit throughout the length of a run."

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Mustang – HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR CAR IS AFTER PRACTICE? “We made some good gains on it over the last few practices. I feel like we were a little bit off yesterday in qualifying trim – in practice and in qualifying – and I’d say the first practice today we made a little bit more progress, but still wasn’t there and got a lot closer, especially in the short run.

RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 MoneyLion Ford Mustang – DOES IT FEEL DIFFERENT OUT THERE? “Yeah, it’s a pretty decent amount different. You can feel it. You can feel the taller spoiler, bigger splitter, you can really feel that, especially turn one and two since it’s really flat. I feel like you can get in there a little bit faster, roll a lot faster, get back to the throttle sooner."
JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Mustang – WHAT KIND OF RACING WILL WE SEE WITH THIS ADDED DOWNFORCE? “I guess I’m unsure right now. I think a few years back when we had the bigger spoilers and the bigger splitters on the car, I know we’re a little more than that again. I guess I think of that a little bit."
