Ryan Newman won the Camping World 500 from Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday afternoon.
Newman stayed out under a late caution, and he was
able to fend off Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch over the final two laps to win. Newman said he wasn’t sure if he would be
able to hold off the cars with newer tires.
“I called for two tires and [crew chief Luke Lambert]
called for none,” Newman said. “I’ve won
more races with no tires than I have with four.”

“I lost count, that’s how long it’s been,” Newman
said. “We had a good car all day and we
kept it out of trouble. We collected in
the end.”
Kyle Busch dominated the final segment of the race,
but after Joey Logano blew a tire with five laps to go, Busch was stuck back in
fifth on the final restart. Busch said
he was excited to come out of Phoenix with a good finish.
“We got a top 5, that’s what we set out to do here
today,” Busch said. “It was just too
many cars that stayed out. Overall we
should be proud of our run today and we move on.”
Larson finished second for the third-straight race
after he was unable to chase down Newman over the final two laps. Larson said he was excited to leave Phoenix
as the point leader.
“It’s really cool to be the point leader right now;
that was a goal of mine going into today,” Larson said. “I wish I wouldn’t have gotten sideways there
in the middle of one and two…I probably would have got [Newman] going into
three and four coming to the white.”
