Austin Dillon wins Xfinity race at Charlotte; Kyle Busch has trouble late

Austin Dillon took the #33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet to his fifth Xfinity Series win of the season in the North Carolina Drive for the Cure 300 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday evening. Dillon completed the Xfinity season sweep of Charlotte with this win, as he also won in May the day before the Sprint Cup's Coca-Cola 600. Kyle Busch once again appeared to have a dominant #54 Toyota, but on lap 154 of 200 he got caught up in an incident with the #88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet of Kasey Kahne, in which both drivers, Busch apparently aided by Kahne, hit the wall on the backstretch. Busch was done for the night. Kahne led a few laps in the race, as did Busch's Truck Series driver, Erik Jones in the #20 Toyota. Chris Buescher (#60) maintained his points lead over last week's winner Regan Smith (#7) by 26 points.
