Best In Show Winner Declared
Las Vegas native Kyle Busch led the most laps of today's Sam's Town 300 at LVMS--but not the one that mattered most.
Jeff Burton chased Busch down just before the checkered flag flew to capture his third NASCAR Busch Series win in Vegas--his 23rd career victory.
Busch had been dominant for much of the race, and took the lead--which looked like the race's final lead change--with seven laps to go.
But Burton had other plans. He nosed ahead of Busch just before the checkered flag fell, and in the process, Busch lost control of his car and slammed into the wall as he crossed the finish line.
The 0.101 second margin of victory was the closest series finish ever at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
At the mid-point, it looked like Tony Stewart might be one of the drivers who would be watching the end of the race from his hauler. Smoke battled overheating problems, and during one pit stop, water sprayed from his hood like a geyser. Incredibly, he battled back and finished third. Kurt Busch and David Stremme rounded out the top five.

A race-record 12 caution flags flew today, with the track's new banking and harder tires giving some drivers trouble. Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer, Greg Biffle and Casey Mears suffered DNFs.
