Kyle Busch Repeats At Atlanta

... Brad Keselowski by 0.606 seconds. No one else was within 2 seconds of the front. But Busch’s triumph was tarnished several hours after the race. NASCAR officials announced that the No. 18 machine failed a post-race inspection, with both the right and left front measuring too low. The car will be taken to the Research & Development Center near Charlotte for further testing, with any penalties to be announced next week. The team could face a loss of points and a suspension for its crew chief. “Fantastic,” Busch said sarcastically. “I guess I’ll have to figure out who I’m working with next week.”. Before the 2016 race, Busch had five runner-up finishes, plus third- and fourth-place showings on the 1.54-mile trioval south of Atlanta. “It took so long to get here to begin with,” he said in Victory Lane. “Now we’ve won two in a row. That feels so good.”. Keselowski won the first 40-lap stage, while Kevin Harvick took the next 40-lap phase. But it was ...

Kyle Busch Explains Toyotas’ Early Reversal Of Fortune

... and get back to where he needed to be. There’s some strength there. “For me in the 18 car, though, we’re just lacking the ability to have the amount of front turn in the race car that I’m looking for because of this lack of downforce. They took a lot of front downforce away from the car (under 2017 rules), and apparently, I rely heavily on that being able to cut through the corners. We’ve got to get a little bit better aero platform going, balance-wise, aero balance, as well, through the corners and figuring out how to do all of that through our setups in the race car.”. Compounding the loss of roughly 500 pounds of downforce this year is Toyota’s introduction of a new Camry race car. Not surprisingly, there have been some growing pains. “I don’t think that this was a surprise to anyone that the lower-downforce package was going ...

Kyle Busch Leads Train Of Toyotas In Friday's Second Cup Practice

... Martin Truex Jr. was fastest on the third lap, but one lap later, Hamlin regained the lead. The Toyotas completed 14 laps together before Kyle Busch, who was the fastest of his teammates, experienced a vibration with his roof flap tether came loose and elected to abort.

Harvick led 64 laps — more than any driver — but got shuffled back to fourth at the finish. He will start from the pole in the Cup race. Another Cup regular, Kyle Larson, was third.

Elliott Sadler was the top-finishing Xfinity Series regular in fifth place, followed by fellow series drivers Darrell Wallace Jr. and William Byron. It was an impressive run by the 19-year-old Byron, whose radio did not work properly. He was able to hear his crew but wasn’t able to speak with them, forcing the team to work ...

Post-race Quotes From Vegas

... Ford. What happened between you and Kyle Busch after the race? Why did Kyle throw a punch. "I don't know. We were just racing hard there at the end. I was underneath him on the backstretch and he tried to crash me into the corner getting underneath Brad (Keselowski) there and at that point I was just trying to get through the corner. I was sideways all the way through and got into him. Nothing intentional. I understand his frustration, he crashed. The same thing could have happened into (Turn) 3 what he did to me.". What transpired with Kyle. "There wasn't much talking, there was a lot of swinging. I don't know. I was racing hard there at the end with our Pennzoil Ford. Kyle and I usually race really well together. We usually never have any issues, and he tried to pin me down into the corner underneath Brad and we about crashed on entry. And then I was still trying to gather it up by the center and I was gonna spin out, so I'm trying to chase it up and he was there. It obviously wasn't anything intentional, but obviously he thinks that, so, I don't know, we'll get by.". Any blows landed ...
