Busch holds off Larson for XFINITY Series win

Feb. 27, 2016 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service HAMPTON, Ga. – Scratch another race track off Kyle Busch’s checklist.

Stewart-Haas Racing to Switch to Ford in 2017

He’s won so many times at places like Martinsville, Pocono, Richmond and other tracks. He also has made the Chase for the Sprint Cup several times, including going all the way to the championship round in 2014 before finishing third of four finalists. But when it came to winning some of NASCAR’s biggest prizes, Hamlin always came up short. Not anymore, though.
