Kyle Busch wins at Bristol

#18-Kyle Busch won the Food City Dirt Race NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The win is his 1st win of the year, 9th at Bristol Motor Speedway and 60th career win.
#8-Reddick finished 2nd followed by #22-Logano, #5-Larson, #12-Blaney, #48-Bowman, #20-Bell, #9-Elliott, #34-McDowell, and #42-Larson.

#8-Reddick was leading #14-Briscoe at the white flag and looked to be on the way to his first career win.  However, Briscoe dive-bombed Reddick trying to take the lead and got loose, spinning them both out.  Busch, who was running more than 2 seconds back was able to beat Reddick to the finish line by .3 second.
The race was red flagged twice for rain – once at the conclusion of stage 2 and again with less than 30 laps remaining.

Pole winner #41-Custer pitted on lap 11 under green with mud on the grill and lost a lap. He was able to get back on the lead lap and finished 13^th. There were 6 lead changes among 5 drivers and 14 cautions for 82 yellow flag laps.
