busch-edwards-richmond-nationwideKyle Busch continued his winning ways at Richmond International Raceway in Friday night's 250 lap Nationwide Series race after pulling away to a .696 second lead over runnerup Carl Edwards at the finish line.

 

Edwards, who led 160 laps and dominated the race, lost three positions on the final round of pit stops that put him fourth on the last restart.

 

"I'll take 'em any way I can," said Kyle Busch.

 

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. finished third and collected the $100,000 Nationwide Dash4Cash bonus. Ryan Truex and Kenny Wallace completed the top five.

 

Several incidents took place with the most notable involving Kevin Harvick and Trevor Bayne that brought out the last caution. Harvick, blocking Bayne for position, brushed the wall on lap 210 when Bayne made contact with the rear bumper of Harvick's Chevrolet.

 

Harvick immediately turned into Bayne sending the No. 16 Ford nose-first into the turn three wall.

 

"It's just one of those deals," said Harvick. "Short-track racing, I guess."
