BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kyle Busch, who won last month’s TD Bank 250 at Oxford Plains Swpeedway, won his fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup race of the year, outlasting Jimmie Johnson in a green-white-checkered finish at Michigan International Speedway today.
Busch, the series points leader coming into the race, passed Johnson with about a dozen laps remaining and was opening up a comfortable margin when his brother, Kurt, scraped a wall, forcing a caution from laps 198-201. The yellow flag erased much of Busch’s lead, but he was able to fight off a quick move from Johnson after the restart and pull away.
Brad Keselowski finished third, his third consecutive top-three finish and fifth top-10 in his last six races. Mark Martin was fourth.
It was the 23rd Sprint Cup win of Busch’s career.
