Nascar – Kyle Busch avoids damage at Martinsville

Kyle Busch (Toyota) a remporté la course de Martinsville (Virginie) au terme d’un finish haletant où de nombreux prétendants à la victoire ont vu leurs espoirs partir en fumée dans les derniers tours. Le pilote de la Joe Gibbs Racing a pris l’avantage sur le dernier restart au prix d’une légère poussette sur son coéquipier Denny Hamlin et a ainsi évité le carambolage de l’arrivée provoqué par la perte de contrôle du pilote de la Camry n°11 heurté par Ryan Blaney (Ford).

The 2015 champion beat Martin Truex Jr (Toyota) while Clint Bowyer (Ford) completed the top three. Long leader, Brad Keselowski (Ford) had to settle for fourth place after being roughed up during one of the last restarts where the Penske driver was jostled by Chase Elliott (Chevrolet) while choosing to take the outside line.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver was still close to a first victory in Nascar Cup Series, but he was ultimately only able to take 27th place after being hit by Denny Hamlin. The driver of the SS n°24 is the worst placed in the playoffs since he is 26 points from the top four.
