Chaos ruled at Phoenix International Raceway during the NASCAR Nationwide Series Bashas’ Supermarkets 200.

After a fairly tame beginning, the final quarter of the race provided hardcore race fans with endless entertainment.

On a restart, Kyle Busch, who had dominated the race chose the outside line with Brad Keselowski starting on the inside in second place. The two drivers struggled to get a clean restart and the field bunched up behind a lagging Busch resulting in a huge multi-car pile-up involving Trevor Bayne, Casey Mears, Landon Cassill and many more.

The race was red-flagged for a brief period while the mess was cleaned up and on the second attempt at a restart around 50 laps to go another poor restart ended with Busch being forced to serve a pass-through penalty down pit road at 45 mph.

Never being one to back down to a challenge, Busch fought his way back on the lead lap and up towards the leaders.

A late race caution for debris brought the field to pit road and Busch literally ran into a snag when he clipped his teammate Joey Logano in their pit stalls. Busch also announced that his transmission was “d-u-n” before the restart.

With 9 laps to go, the field took the green and Logano took an early lead despite the damage he sustained in the pits. The lead was swapped multiple times between Logano, Keselowski and finally Busch who got to the top spot again with five laps to go.

“If we get a caution we can win this,” Keselowski commented as the laps wound down, but Busch took the lead and ran with it.

He took the checkered flag for his 3rd career win in the Valley of the Sun and his 32nd career Nationwide Series victory.

After a smoky burnout and his now traditional bow, Busch pulled into Victory Lane and began his speech with an apology to Logano for the pit-road incident. After some general comments about the event and sponsor acknowledgements, Busch finished with a jab at NASCAR for the pass-through penalty.

“All I know is I paid NASCAR back by winning.”

Keselowski ended up 3rd after Kevin Harvick slipped past him for 2nd. Brendan Gaughn and Greg Biffle rounded out the top-5.

Carl Edwards, Paul Menard, Scott Lagasse, Jr., Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., and Logano completed the top-10.

Next weekend the Nationwide Series will take on Texas and the O’Reilly 300 scheduled to broadcast on ESPN2 at 3pm ET on Saturday.
