Busch wins at Dover: #18-Kyle Busch won the Helluva Good! 200 at Dover International Speedway in dominating fashion. He led 191 of the 205 laps and was never seriously challenged. The race had a green-white-checker finish after a large wreck late and a red flag, but Busch wasn't seriously challenged on the restart. #21-Clint Bowyer was parked by NASCAR after hitting #20-Denny Hamlin just before the final restart of the race and called to the NASCAR hauler afterwards.
