Kyle Busch won the Duck Commander 500 from Texas Motor
Speedway on Saturday night.
Busch picked up another victory, continuing his
dominance of NASCAR’s three National Series.
He has now won the last four NASCAR races, dating back to last weekend’s
races at Martinsville. Busch said his
team is working really well together right now.

“Right now, it’s just clicking and going together,”
Busch said. “It’s pretty darn good…having
a blast, living the dream.”
Austin Dillon spun to begin a large wreck with about
40 laps to go, and Busch was able to get around Martin Truex Jr. on the final
restart. Busch said his car had gotten
better as the night went on.
“We made some great adjustments all night long. I think the racetrack kept coming to us as
the night progressed as well too.”
Truex, who dominated the second half of the race,
stayed out with Dillon on a late caution while the other leaders pitted. Truex said his old tires couldn’t hold off
the other leaders.
“Our plan was to stay out and [crew chief Cole Pearn]
called me in at the last second and I didn’t want to hit the cone,” Truex
said. “By the time we finally got
rolling there, we just didn’t have the grip everyone else had and we were just
sliding around.”
“It’s frustrating, but that’s racing and that’s the
way it goes sometimes.”
