Kyle Busch steals another Xfinity win at Chicagoland

Kyle Busch sped to his third Xfinity Series win of 2015 in Saturday's Furious 7 300 at Chicagoland Speedway in his #54 Toyota. During the closing laps, Busch and teammate Matt Kenseth (#20), both prepared to compete for ten races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup starting with Sunday's Cup race, were engaged in a battle for the lead. With less than three to go, Kenseth passed Busch for the lead, but the lapped #25 Chevrolet of John Wes Townley got in the way of Kenseth and allowed Busch to pull a crossover move. Roush driver Darrell Wallace Jr. (#6) had a good run and finished third. Another battle for position near the end took place between Richard Childress teammates Brian Scott (#2) and another Cup Chaser, Paul Menard (#33). Ryan Blaney, already out of Sunday's Cup race due to a qualifying rainout despite having a good car in Cup practice, had more bad luck when his #22 Team Penske Ford blew two tires early, putting him several laps down, During the closing laps, Scott and Kyle Larson (#42) had to pit for fuel.
