Kyle Busch led 197 of the 200 laps in route to his dominating performance and victory on Saturday night in the Kroger 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park.  Upset with the Toyota engine rule change, he led all but three laps in route to his sixth Nationwide win in 20 starts this season.

 

This was also the 15th victory for Toyota and the first since the rule change that cut 15 horsepower from its engines.  “We wanted to come out here this weekend and sort of get a little sweet revenge on everybody.” Busch said.

 

This was also a record-setting 14th in the series for the Gibbs organization. Richard Childress Racing amassed 13 wins in the series last season.  “Man, what a great car and what a great team.  Joe Gibbs Racing, it's no wonder that we've won this many races this year.  The guys just come to the race track prepared.” Busch said.

 

Polesitter Colin Braun finished second, Mike Bliss third, Scott Wimmer fourth and Josh Wise finished fifth.

 

Carl Edwards was at one time 4-laps down.  He got back on the lead lap with less than 35 laps remaining.  He battled back to finish 11th.  “A little short.  It’s just like anything in this world; you try as hard as you can. That’s what we did tonight.  Everybody at Vitamin Water was very cool.” Edwards said.

 

Series points leader Clint Bowyer ended up 18th and leads by 173 points over Brad Keselowski who finished 19th.
