BRISTOL, Tenn. – Kyle Busch is still the king of Bristol Motor Speedway, but there was nothing routine about his victory in Sunday’s Food City 500.

The obstacles included a crash on the opening lap, a mangled rear bumper and a day-long rally.

“We just do what we do to try to win,” said Busch after his eighth career BMS win.

Sunday’s defining moment came after a restart with 15 laps to go. In textbook fashion, Busch took off from the field with his brother Kurt trailing close behind.

Kurt made a couple runs at his brother but was unable to pull off the pass.

“I wanted that one bad,” Kurt Busch said. “I was willing to wreck my little brother to win. He had already won seven times here. With three laps to go, the car stepped out in Turn 1 and I wasn’t close enough after that.”

Kyle said he enjoyed the family interplay.

“It was fun to battle out the brother there,” Kyle said. “I know we didn’t quite get side-side racing it out. I saw him working the top. I got up there and was able to make some ground.”
