Kyle Busch Wins 50th Career NNS Race

 
Kyle Busch beat his teammate Joey Logano to the finish line by only .019 seconds to win his 50th NNS race and make history.

"We had mark with us there in Loudon, and it was a phenomenal way to win 49 races and tie Mark Martin, and then to come here and to be able to beat his record here at Bristol, one of my favorite places and one of the team's favorite places it was certainly an awesome race" - Kyle Busch

The final caution came out on lap 191 when David Starr blew a tire and hit the wall. This is where things got interesting, Joey Logano, Jason Leffler, and Elliott Sadler all stayed out and Kyle Busch was the first car off pit road with fresher tires. By lap 220 Busch had re-taken the lead from Logano. As Busch was getting closer and closer to making history, he catches up to a lap car and the lap car was holding him up causing the 2nd place car Logano to catch up to him, which led to that excting close finish.

the top 10: 1. Kyle Busch, 2. Joey Logano, 3. Clint Bowyer, 4. Carl Edwards, 5. Aric Almirola, 6. Michael Annett, 7. Jason Leffler, 8. Elliott Sadler, 9. Parker Kligerman, 10. Brian Scott
