Kyle Busch wins Indy Xfinity race on last-lap pass

Kyle Busch took the #54 Toyota past the #22 Ford of Ryan Blaney on the final lap of the Lilly Diabetes 250 Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday. It was Busch's second win in the event, which had its fourth running on Saturday. Blaney had to settle for second, and was obviously disappointed about getting passed on the final lap. Busch's teammate, rookie Daniel Suarez in the #18 Toyota, who finished third appeared to have the dominant car early in the race, which featured a wreck involving the #8 Chevrolet of Blake Koch and the #44 Chevrolet of David Starr. Cup drivers Paul Menard (#33, the highest-finishing Chevy driver), Kevin Harvick (#88) and Kyle Larson (#42) had runs in the top-ten, as did Menard's full-time Xfinity teammates Brian Scott (#2) and Ty Dillon (#3). Points leader Chris Buescher finished 16th in the #60 Ford, while his teammate Elliott Sadler (#1) pulled off a fifth-place finish. Next week the series goes to Newton, Iowa for one of their standalone races.
