Kyle Busch dominated the first half of the race but had to rally back with a pass by Jeff Gordon on the night’s final restart to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400 at Richmond Raceway. Sam Hornish Jr.’s crash on the backstretch set up a five lap dash to the finish with leader Gordon lined up with Busch on the outside. When the green flag reappeared Busch drove by Gordon for the top spot and pulled away as the final laps wound down to score his second straight win in the May Richmond race. Busch led 226 of 400 laps to Gordon’s 144.
