From press release
Kyle Busch completed the second leg of a possible sweep, Saturday by winning the Nationwide race of the weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
In winning his seventh NNS race of the season, his seventh in 18 starts at Texas, the 70th of his career and the 100th Nationwide event for Joe Gibbs Racing, Busch led 116 of 200 laps in completing the second leg of a possible weekend sweep at the 1.5-mile speedway.
Busch beat polesitter Joey Logano to the finish line by 1.561 seconds in the 300-mile event. Logano could keep up with Busch in the short runs but began to lose ground as each fuel run progressed.
On Friday night, Busch also took the checkered flag in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and on Sunday he'll try to record the second weekend trifecta of his career in the AAA Texas 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, the second event in the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
