rounded out the top five ahead of Ryan Blaney, last week’s winner at Charlotte. Hamlin finished second while Joey Logano, the winner a year ago in the Cup Series debut at the track, got around Larson on the final lap for third. “It means a lot to me coming home," Burnett said. Burnett hails from nearby Fenton, Missouri, and had plenty of friends and family in a sellout crowd of about 60,000 on a brutally hot late spring day. The win was especially gratifying for Busch’s crew chief, Randall Burnett, who not only produced a car fast enough to win the pole in his hometown but also made all the right calls on Sunday.
“Those last three or four or however many restarts, I thought that was pretty tough, but I knew he would do his job.” "Any time we give him a car capable of winning, he's going to win it,” Childress said. He was well ahead of the rest of the field by the backstretch with just over a lap left and was never seriously challenged by Hamlin after he took the white flag, giving Richard Childress Racing another victory after triumphs at Talladega and Auto Club Speedway. Bubba Wallace brought out the 11th and final yellow when he was fighting for a top-10 finish and his brake rotor let go with five laps remaining, the last in a series of broken rotors that ended the race for at least three other drivers.īusch, who had held off Kyle Larson on each previous restart, had one last phenomenal jump in him.
