Who…should you be talking about after the race?
Sometimes you win and sometimes you dominate. Kurt Busch dominated the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, leading 110 laps and powering to the front after a late restart erased his advantage. Busch restarted third behind Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson, but dispatched his brother and set sail after the No. 5. While Busch gave Larson just enough room to race, it wasn’t enough for the defending champion, and Busch snuck into the lead for the last time with nine laps remaining.
It’s the 34th career NASCAR Cup Series win for the 43-year-old Busch, who has won at the Cup level with four different manufacturers and five different teams.
It was certainly a Toyota kind of day. Kurt Busch’s 23XI Racing team works together with JGR, and all four JGR and both 23XI cars were inside the top 10 at the checkered flag. It’s the first time the manufacturer has shown that kind of collective strength this year.
23XI is also the second second-year team to win in 2022, and that bodes well for the sport. The new car has given new owners and teams a chance to win again.
There was a lot to like about this race on Sunday.
And don’t forget: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stenhouse quietly finished eighth at Kansas. It’s his third top-10 in a row, tying his 2021 season mark.
It’s still a little early to say Stenhouse is finally finding consistency (or maybe a lot too late in his career to believe it). But his single-car JTG Daugherty Racing team needs the boost he’s currently giving them.
What Stenhouse is doing while posting these runs is staying out of trouble. His aggressive style has gotten him into scrapes that have hurt any chance of building momentum in the past, but he drove smart at Kansas without driving over his head.
What…is the buzz about?
There’s a fine line between tires that wear out and tires that don’t hold up. The first one is exactly what you want in racing: tires should have massive fall-off during a fuel…
