In a green-white-checkered finish that took the Dollar General 300 three laps past its scheduled distance, Busch beat Logano on a restart on Lap 202 and held the lead until a caution for a wreck on the Chicagoland Speedway tri-oval froze the field and made Busch a winner in the series for the seventh time this year.

Busch was able to pin Logano to the bottom of the track and clear Logano for the win. The race ended under caution because the wreck occurred after Busch took the white flag to begin the final lap.

The victory was Busch’s 37th all time, breaking a tie for second with Kevin Harvick for career wins in the series. Rookie Brian Scott ran third, followed by his Braun Racing teammates David Reutimann and Jason Leffler, as Toyotas swept the top five positions. NASCAR.com

“It wasn’t easy,” Busch said. “We didn’t have the track position when it mattered, and the car got really, really tight. But these guys didn’t give up.”

“I knew I couldn’t spin my tires and knew I couldn’t let him [Logano] force me too high,” Busch said of the final restart. “It was dirty up there. I was able to keep it low enough to stay out of that and get in front of Joey.”

Danica Patrick lost a lap to the leaders early and finished 24th. FOXNews
