Busch started on the pole and led 377 of 400 laps. After dreaming of winning one of NASCAR’s
crown jewel events, Busch said he was happy to finally get to victory lane.
“I’ve dreamt of this race since I was a kid,” Busch
said. “I don’t think there’s anything
that can top Homestead…but this one’s very special.”
The win was Busch’s first victory at Charlotte, and
Busch is now the only driver in NASCAR history to have won at every track he’s
run. Busch said it was a testament to
how strong his team has been over the years.
“Adam Stevens and all my guys are just phenomenal to
work with and it’s so much fun right now,” Busch said. “The first one to check off all the track and
get it all done.”
Martin Truex Jr. overcame two penalties on pit road on
Sunday, but he couldn’t catch Busch in the closing laps. Truex said he didn’t think he could have run
down Busch at the end of the race.
“That last run we made quite a bit on Kyle, but I just
feel like he was just taking care of it,” Truex said. “Those last 20-30 laps of a run he could just
check out.”
