Results: Kyle Busch Wins NASCAR Nationwide Series Race At Talladega Superspeedway

Just when you think Talladega Superspeedway’s lottery-ball nature is sure to yield a surprise winner, here’s Kyle Busch.

Busch won the Aaron’s 312 under caution on Saturday afternoon, leading the pack with a push from Joey Logano as Mike Wallace flipped into the air to bring out a yellow on the white-flag lap of a green-white-checkered finish.

After getting hit and spun late in the race during a big crash, Busch somehow still rallied for a win – his fourth of the season already.

“Look at the thing!” Busch said incredulously in Victory Lane. “I got hit like three times on the left side. I thought it was killed!”

Added crew chief Jason Ratcliff: “It’s the ugliest car we’ve ever had in Victory Lane. And it came in a restrictor-plate race.”

Finishing under caution was an anti-climactic ending to a crazy race, which saw more of the two-car drafts that have recently become prevalent at NASCAR’s restrictor-plate tracks.

Busch’s winning move came via a bold pass through a narrow corridor of cars.

“I saw daylight,” Busch said. “Somehow we made it through there. I didn’t think it was wide enough for a car to fit through, but I made it wide enough for car to fit through. I closed my eyes, held my foot to the floor and prayed for the best.”

Logano finished second, followed by the tandem of underdog Joe Nemechek and pusher Brad Keselowski, who showed the veteran plenty of respect.

“How about that for a small team?” said Nemechek, who has just four employees. “It was a cool race.”

Elliott Sadler finished fifth, with Trevor Bayne, Justin Allgaier, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Reed Sorenson and Aric Almirola rounding out the top 10.

The race ended on the second green-white-checkered finish after the first attempt didn’t last long.

A trio of Turner Motorsports cars were collected on an ill-timed bump, with Jason Leffler, James Buescher and Sorenson all involved.

Leffler, despite a 15th-place finish, took over the points lead.

There were a race-record 36 lead changes in Saturday’s race.
