Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch led 377 of 400 laps Sunday in winning the Coca-Cola 600, a statistic so impressive that it must encapsulate all parts of a race.
First, the man behind the wheel — Busch was superb all night in the most challenging race of the race.
Second, the car — “I’ll tell you what, I don’t know that I’ve ever had a car that good at Charlotte or in other places,” Busch said of his No. 18 Toyota. “I could pretty much go anywhere I wanted.”
And finally, the pit crew. Busch started from the Busch Pole Award and claimed the first pit stall. It was four-tire stops all night for the JGR crew, and his unit didn’t falter once. He did not lose any position off of pit road throughout the race. “You guys are amazing,” Busch radioed to his crew after taking the checkered flag. “Awesome job, I can’t thank y’all enough.”
