In his first NASCAR XFINITY Series race back from a broken right leg and left foot, Kyle Busch proved conclusively that he hasn’t lost a step.
Taking advantage of contact between the Chevrolet of Kevin Harvick and the Ford of polesitter Joey Logano—as those two drivers were battling for the lead—Busch passed Chase Elliott for the lead on lap 122 of 125 and held on to win Saturday’s Great Clips 250 at Michigan International Speedway.

From Donnie and Bobby Allison, to Kurt and Kyle Busch, and several in between, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has become accustom to seeing brothers compete and compete well. The Dillon brothers are yet another brother duo now competing across NASCAR’s top-three national series.
Coming off an 18th-place finish at Pocono this past weekend and again stepping into a Sprint Cup Series car Sunday at Michigan International Speedway this weekend, questions are already swirling around what Ty Dillon’s plans will be for the 2016 season.

Chris Buescher wins on fuel-strategy at Dover after contact with teammate
Chris Buescher had enough fuel left at the end of Saturday’s Buckle Up 200 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Dover International Speedway to do a celebratory burnout, but his No. 60 Roush Fenway Racing Ford wasn’t the only thing that was smoking after the checkered flag.
