Race 6 of 36

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Kurt Busch has won the Food City 500 for the second year in a row. Matt Kenseth finished second, and Bobby Labonte was third.

Busch led 112 of the 500 laps for his fifth career win. Busch becomes the sixth different winner of 2003.

Kenseth's runner-up finish gives him a 138-point lead over Busch in the Winston Cup standings.

Jimmy Spencer and Jeff Gordon dominated the race, but the outcome was decided by a late caution that stranded several contenders on pit road. More
