Yesterday, I talked about anyone having a chance to put the juggernaut that was Kyle Busch down. Unfortunately that wasn't the case towards the end of the race as Busch dominated the last half of the race to take his fourth win of the year at Dover holding off Carl Edwards for the win."We didn't have the car to beat [Sunday]," said Busch. "Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle did. But our guys on pit road [were] phenomenal -- got us out front -- and that's what won the race for us. The guys that pitted this thing on pit road definitely won the race for us."
And Busch was right it seemed that was going to Biffle's or Edward's day. Of course many contenders for the win on Sunday were taken out in a lap 18 crash.
And while were talking about the crash lets give the brain-dead move of the race to Denny Hamlin. Seriously, Denny do you know where the brake pedal is?
After a 20 minute red flag session the race got underway again and looked like it would be Greg Biffle's race until electrical gremlins struck him halfway through the race, Biffle would have to struggle the rest of the day without air conditioning and brake fans to finish third. Biffle's problems handed the lead to his teammate Carl Edwards, but a slow final pit stop would cost him the victory. With very few cautions and lots of green flag runs only six cars managed to finish all 400 laps, the same amount did it last fall. Along with Busch, Edwards and Biffle. Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top five.
With this win Busch extends his point lead to 142 over Jeff Burton who finished eighth on Sunday. The Sprint Cup series heads off to Pocono where TNT will take over the TV coverage and sadly that means Bill Weber has arrived.
