KYLE BUSCH CRUISES TO VICTORY IN BAPTIST HEALTH 200 AT HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY
“I can’t say enough about this Cessna Beechcraft Toyota Tundra, it was awesome tonight,” Busch said. “It’s been awesome all year, we’ve just had some fluke things that have kind of taken us out of the running. The last restart there with Ross (Chastain) behind me, he got a good launch and I got a good shove from him down the frontstretch and then there was room there in the middle for him. Obviously, here we go. Had to give him room and we just tried to race it out on the outside and see what happens off of turn two. Just able to get that momentum off the outside. I didn’t lift much through the corner and just got that run and then those guys got side-by-side and that let me get away. Really good race for us and proud of everybody at KBM, proud of the effort. I know we’ve got issues and we’ll continue to work on that and get better.”
Ankrum finished the race second while Chastain was third and also won Stage 1 of the race. Chase Elliott (4th) and Johnny Sauter (5th) completed the top-5.
