Sunday‘s win was his fourth there, most among the current field, and the last trophy given before the historic NASCAR track is repaved and reconfigured going forward.More importantly Sunday‘s work was a big statement for Busch, who started the race with only a 25-point buffer in the championship standings with six races left to set the 16-driver playoffs field. Now with the win, he‘s “in,” and his emotions climbing out of Chip Ganassi Racing‘s No. 1 Chevrolet certainly reflected the relief and joy.RELATED: Official results | At-track photosHe simultaneously earned a playoffs position and evened the score with his brother — each has won two races in the four times they have finished first and second.“Hell yeah, we beat Kyle,” a smiling Kurt Busch said after climbing out of his car, putting his fists in the air and turning toward the cheering crowd in the grandstands.“What a battle on an old-school race track,” Kurt Busch said. “It‘s been one of those years where I knew we were going to have our back against the wall, just above the (playoffs) cut-off line and needed to race hard and race smart.”Not too surprisingly, Kyle Busch‘s mood standing by his car on pit lane was markedly different than his brother‘s. He felt like Kurt‘s Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Ross Chastain interfered a bit as the two brothers were fighting for the race lead while navigating lapped traffic.Kurt led a race high 144 of the 267 laps — the most he‘s led in a single race since 2015 (291 laps at Richmond) and the two each won a stage. Kurt came out behind his brother on track when the final round of pit stops cycled out, but ultimately passed Kyle for good with 25 laps remaining and crossed the finish line 1.237 seconds ahead of his brother. Kyle was able to pull alongside Kurt with seven to go, but unable to make the pass in lapped traffic.“I gave everything I had there early and then just smoked it behind the 42 (Chastain) obviously, shows you what kind of driver he is,” Kyle Busch said. “Just trying to fight hard after that when I got passed.“Great effort, the guys gave me a great piece,‘‘ Kyle continued. “The 1 (Kurt Busch) was definitely better than us today, I just thought I had him.”Kyle‘s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. finished third, rallying from a 37th-place starting position. Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman was fourth followed by Penske Racing‘s Ryan Blaney, who won at Atlanta this March.Tyler Reddick, Georgia native Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell, Matt DiBenedetto and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 10.Noticeably absent from that group is the series‘ only four-race winner Kyle Larson. He ran among the top five for most of the race but was penalized for speeding on pit road during his final pit stop. He instead finished 18th.Championship points leader Denny Hamlin, who is still looking for his first win of 2021, finished 13th. He also was handed a pit road penalty early in the race, which was red-flagged for about 20 minutes just after the completion of Stage 2 so track workers could repair the track surface.With five races remaining to set the 16-driver playoffs field, 12 drivers have now earned automatic bids with a race victory. Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, who rallied to an 11th-place finish Sunday, Austin Dillon and Reddick are the four highest-ranked drivers on points.The NASCAR Cup Series’ next race is the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, scheduled next Sunday (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN, PRN, SiriusXM) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.Notes: Post-race inspection was completed without major issue in the Cup Series garage, confirming Busch as the winner. Four teams were found with one unsecured lug nut in a post-race check: No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota (driver Christopher Bell), No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford (Matt DiBenedetto), No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota (Bubba Wallace), No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet (Alex Bowman). … NASCAR officials also announced that four cars would be taken to the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, N.C., for engine dynamometer testing and a full teardown. Competition officials periodically conduct more thorough post-race inspections, but to monitor trends and developments without any penalties stemming from those analyses.Contributing: Staff reports DRIVERS COMPARISON Position Speed Time Kurt Busch Kyle Busch Flag State Fastest Lap #1 Kurt Busch Kyle Busch Martin Truex Jr. Alex Bowman Ryan Blaney Tyler Reddick Chase Elliott Christopher Bell Matt DiBenedetto Brad Keselowski Kevin Harvick Austin Dillon Denny Hamlin Bubba Wallace Chase Briscoe # Chris Buescher Cole Custer Kyle Larson Joey Logano William Byron Ross Chastain Corey LaJoie Aric Almirola Erik Jones * Ryan Preece Anthony Alfredo # Michael McDowell Ryan Newman Justin Haley(i) BJ McLeod(i) Garrett Smithley(i) Bayley Currey(i) Cody Ware(i) Josh Bilicki Quin Houff Daniel Suarez Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #1 LAP SPEED 162.748MPH LEADER LEADER AVG RUNNING POS 2.195 BEST LAP TIME (SEC) 31.333 XFINITY FASTEST LAP (MPH) 176.938 LAPS LED 0 #2 Kyle Busch Kurt Busch Martin Truex Jr. Alex Bowman Ryan Blaney Tyler Reddick Chase Elliott Christopher Bell Matt DiBenedetto Brad Keselowski Kevin Harvick Austin Dillon Denny Hamlin Bubba Wallace Chase Briscoe # Chris Buescher Cole Custer Kyle Larson Joey Logano William Byron Ross Chastain Corey LaJoie Aric Almirola Erik Jones * Ryan Preece Anthony Alfredo # Michael McDowell Ryan Newman Justin Haley(i) BJ McLeod(i) Garrett Smithley(i) Bayley Currey(i) Cody Ware(i) Josh Bilicki Quin Houff Daniel Suarez Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #2 LAP SPEED 162.977MPH 1.237000000001 (Time Behind) 1.237000000001 (Time Behind) AVG RUNNING POS 1.931 BEST LAP TIME (SEC) 31.335 XFINITY FASTEST LAP (MPH)) 176.927 LAPS LED 0 LIVE STANDINGS FAVORITES POINTS BEHIND DELTA STAGE ONE POINTS STAGE TWO POINTS STAGE THREE POINTS RACE POINTS 1 A.J.
