The inaugural Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway is now in the books and with another checkered flag Kyle Busch is tied with Kevin Harvick for the most wins this season with three each.

Kyle’s win also made him the new points leader heading into New Hampshire. A solid run from Brad Keselowski moved him to within three points of the top-20. Regan Smith is going to have to make something happen if he wants to have a spot in the Chase via his Darlington win.

Another bad race for Dale Jr. drops him down in the points and Denny Hamlin now sits 10th leaving both Wild Card spots open with eight to go before Richmond.
