Kyle Busch and Jeb Burton win at Talladega

Las Vegas native and Skip Barber alumnus Kyle Busch rolled the dice and won his 62nd NASCAR Cup Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. Busch led just three laps, including the most important one, the last. "We got to gamble," Busch, 37, told his crew while contemplating whether to pit for fuel or stay out for the final overtime restart. Busch and fellow SBRS grad Bubba Wallace exchanged the lead during the race's final two laps, but Ryan Blaney tagged Wallace's No. 23 Toyota in the No. 12 Penske Racing Ford as those two battled for the lead just after the white flag. Wallace took responsibility for the crash. "So that was our best, by far, plate race that we've ever done, so hat's off to the No. 23 group, Freddie, on top of the roof. Just a great day for us, just a crap result, so…hate it. Eight cautions, including two-stage breaks, slowed the race. There were 21 different race leaders and 57 lead changes.
