Scoring the victory, Busch moved into fourth in the championship hunt, now with one win under his belt.
“We’ve been on a great run these last few weeks,” Busch said. “To bring it on home and get a W, yeah, there’s that insurance with the win. We bumped up in points. It’s a matter of just continuing each week to get better.”
Gordon’s second-place run moved him inside the top 10 in points to ninth, taking him out of the wild card spot with 10 races left before the field is set for the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
