Nascar – Kyle Busch sees triple at Bristol

Camping World Truck Series, Xfinity Series and Monster Energy Cup Series, nothing stood up to Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing – Toyota) this weekend in Bristol, Tennessee. The 2015 champion of the premier series of the American discipline won last night, beating Erik Jones (Furniture Row Racing – Toyota).

The last part of the event was contested under green flag conditions over the last 79 laps, after the eighth neutralization following Landon Cassill's accident. At the restart, Jones got the better of Busch, but the latter made the decisive overtake on Jones on the 445th lap before controlling the end of the race despite the traffic and Jones' attempts to return.

The Furniture Row driver fails at 1″422 at the finish line. Kyle Busch thus won his second hat-trick on the same weekend, a performance he had already achieved in 2010 at Bristol.

The top 5 of the event is completed by Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing), Matt Kenseth (Joe Gibbs Racing) and Kurt Busch (Stewart-Haas Racing – Ford). Ryan Newman places the first Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet SS in sixth position.
