Kurt Busch wins NASCAR Cup Series at Kansas for Michael ... (The Tennessean)

Kurt Busch pinched his way past Kyle Larson for the lead with eight laps to go to win Sunday's race at Kansas Speedway.

Several cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv and Mariupol, also were incorporated in the paint scheme along with the insignia of the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council. Then the same tire problem caught up to Elliott, whose rear went down and sent him spinning across the track with 70 laps to go. Larson kept riding the top line around the mile-and-a-half oval, often brushing the wall, while Kurt Busch was able to put his Toyota just about anywhere he wanted. It tried all manner of saws, torches and wrenches to no avail, a tough blow for a Petty GMS Motorsports team hanging outside the playoff fringe. Just as Byron limped down pit road, outside pole sitter Tyler Reddick had a rear go down and touched the wall. William Byron, who was bumped out of the way by Logano in last week's contentious finish at Darlington, was running near the front when his tire went away.

“Bubba (Wallace) is a tremendous teammate, but this is 23XI. This is our first win for the 45 car and with Jordan Brand on the hood. Now, this is the check off the Toyota box, but it's about family. I love my KBI employees and everybody at 23XI. This is for us. “I love my family at home. “It's huge, I'm so proud of Kurt," Hamlin said with a sniffle, somewhat at a loss for words. I’ve never had certainly this kind of feeling, even for a win for me when I did win.

In the final 33 laps, Kurt Busch ran down first his brother Kyle, and then Kyle Larson to reclaim the lead and held on to win a wild NASCAR Cup Series race ...

The lead-lap cars all pit with Bell the first off pit road. Suarez spun off Turn 4 on Lap 62 and just barely got a piece of the wall to bring out a caution. Following the break between Stages 1 and 2, the lead-lap cars all pit with Elliott the first off pit road. The race returned to green on Lap 137. Wallace, who was running in the top-five, was penalized for an uncontrolled tire and had to restart in the rear of the field. Stenhouse, among those who stayed out, led the way on the restart on Lap 68. In the middle of the stops, Harvick spun in Turn 1 after exiting pit road which brought out a caution. From there, Kurt patiently made up ground on Larson and dove inside of him in Turn 3 with eight laps to go to reclaim the lead. NASCAR displayed a caution on Lap 230 for possible fluid on the track. Kurt Busch continued to lead the way. Busch, 43, ended up leading a race-high 116 laps and appeared to have the fastest car in the race. Kurt fell back as far as fourth before mounting a charge back to the front.

Fantasy Update: Strong Saturday at Kansas for Christopher Bell ... (NASCAR)

Last-minute advice from an expert for Fantasy Live before Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series AdventHealth400 at Kansas Speedway.

Maybe his tough luck for the weekend is out of the way for the weekend. Tyler Reddick: With the speed Reddick showed on Saturday, it’s very possible he gets his first career victory on Sunday. In fact, he’s my pick to win. Unfortunately for the No. 22 team, Logano was one of six drivers to blow a left rear tire in practice at Kansas on Saturday, and one of two to go to a backup car (Chris Buescher). Though he has three wins at Kansas, Logano will start from behind on Sunday. FALLING: Joey Logano is coming off a boost of momentum after winning the pole, leading the most laps and winning the race at Darlington Raceway last weekend. Even so, several of the projected frontrunners for the 400-miler came to play, with Christopher Bell earning his third pole of the season. Earlier this week, I said to stay away from Kurt Busch this weekend, as the No. 45 team has had a tough stretch of races dating back to COTA, with five finishes of 28th or worse.

Kurt Busch took the lead with eight laps to go to win Sunday's race at Kansas Speedway.

"Just hard racing for the win," Larson said. Several cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv and Mariupol, also were incorporated in the paint scheme along with the insignia of the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council. "That was fun racing with Kurt the last half of the race. Then the same tire problem caught up to Elliott, whose rear went down and sent him spinning across the track with 70 laps to go. It tried all manner of saws, torches and wrenches to no avail, a tough blow for a Petty GMS Motorsports team hanging outside the playoff fringe. "I finally conquered this track," Kurt Busch said. Just as Byron limped down pit road, outside pole-sitter Tyler Reddick had a rear go down and touched the wall. Larson had the dominant car, riding the top line around the mile-and-a-half oval, but Busch was able to put his Toyota just about anywhere he wanted. "But let's talk about the positives. William Byron, who was bumped out of the way by Logano in last week's contentious finish at Darlington, was running near the front when his tire went away. "You know, we as an organization kind of let these guys down -- I'm talking about Bubba and Kurt, all the mistakes we'd made on pit road and whatnot," Hamlin said. I don't do this alone."

Kurt Busch wins Kansas in 23XI banner day - The Checkered Flag (The Checkered Flag)

All six Toyota NASCAR Cup cars, including the 23XI Racing duo of Kurt Busch and Bubba Wallace, finished in the top 10 at Kansas as Busch held off Kyle ...

Lauletta thanked Petty for the support, tweeting his appreciation for the “trust in @23XIRacing and for the grace shown when asked if we could run the 45. I had to have the confidence to know that our setup would do things on short run and long run.” With nine laps remaining, Busch cleared Larson for the lead and would score his thirty-fourth Cup victory and first at Kansas. Wallace’s tyre trouble coming on pit road is rather benign compared to those who had theirs go down while on track. Entering Kansas, 23XI Racing had been slugging through a challenging season as Busch and team-mate Bubba Wallace were outside the top twenty in points. “Working hard at this frustrating issue”.
