NASCAR Toyota/Save Mart 350: Complete finishing order
Kyle Busch picked up his first win of the season as he won the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.
After a horrific wreck looked to end Kyle Busch’s season, he has fought back valiantly to overcome the odds and get back on the track. Sunday, his hard work was rewarded as Busch survived the treacherous road racing at Sonoma Raceway.
When it looked like Jimmie Johnson was going to pull away for his fifth win of the season, Kyle Busch worked his way up, got on Johnson’s bumper and never looked back the rest of the way.
He had competition in the form of Clint Bowyer and his brother, Kurt Busch, behind him, but the “the need to win” over “the want to win” proved to be all that Busch would need to pick up the victory.
For Kyle Busch to become “Chase” eligible despite missing a good portion of the beginning of the season, he had to win a race and average overall a top-16 finish. Two wrecks in the last month have made it look like that wasn’t going to happen, but Busch got the win he desperately needed and overcame adversity yet again.
With Kyle Busch picking up his first win of the season at Sonoma, here is the complete finishing order for Sunday’s race.
