#5-Kyle Busch’s first NASCAR Busch Series win came in dominating fashion. Busch, who turned 19 on May 2, led four times for 236 of 250 laps and then held off #60-Greg Biffle by .150 seconds to earn his first series victory in Friday night’s Funai 250 at Richmond International Raceway. The win comes in the rookie’s 18th career start. He also takes over the series points lead, holding a 15-point advantage over #8-Martin Truex Jr. Biffle said he could have attempted to root Busch out of the way, but elected to try to pass cleanly. #21-Kevin Harvick finished third, #25-Bobby Hamilton Jr. was fourth and #22-Jason Keller completed the top five. Truex, who held the points lead entering the race, was involved in an early wreck and finished seventh. #1-Jamie McMurray appeared to have a car capable of winning and briefly took the lead on Lap 88, then cut a tire and hit the wall, ending his shot at a victory. The race was slowed 11 times by caution for 69 laps. There were six lead changes among four drivers.(ThatsRacin.com)
