Busch got by Biffle when the No. 16 machine had a loose wheel and skated up the speedway, and he was able to keep Harvick at bay despite the bumper-to-bumper racing. The victory by the 20-year-old Busch made him the sixth Nextel Cup regular to win in six Busch Series races this season.

Harvick had dominated most of the day, leading a race-high 120 laps, but when he gave up the lead after a pit stop on Lap 148 because a window tearoff was stuck to his tire, he restarted 33rd -- half a lap down -- and couldn't chase down Busch.

Harvick did hold on for second, while Matt Kenseth, who was side-by-side with Harvick's No. 21 car at the line, finished third.

A 1-hour, 19-minutes and 2-seconds snow delay at Lap 32 forced a longer-than-expected day at the half-mile track, but when racing resumed, the weather held off. Accidents, however, did not. There were 13 cautions for 81 laps, the most of any Busch Series race this season.
