Kyle
Busch won the Nationwide Series race at the Chicagoland Speedway
Kyle Busch noted that he would
problably have finished in second place, at best if Keselowski
had not run out of fuel.
"I don't think I would have had a
shot to win the race," Busch said. "It was going to take too much to
get alongside of Joey, had the restart gone with Keselowski in place. …
I couldn't make the third lane work around the outside.

Kyle Busch took the Dollar General 300 mile
race with three extra laps past the scheduled amount.
Busch defeated Logano on the restart of Lap # 202. He held that
gain in position until a caution was called for an accident at
the Chicagoland Speedway.
Kyle Busch was pronounced the winner in
the series for the 7th time this year.

Illinois. She is racing in her home state and hopes some of the
local fans will come out to see her race.

driver in this race from Illinois. Justin Allgaier, is from
Riverton, and that's about 160 miles from the track.
