Ryan Newman returned to Victory Lane for the first time in 77 races after he took advantage of a late-race caution and a two-tire pit stop to win the Subway Fresh Fit 600 at Phoenix Raceway. Kyle Busch appeared to be cruising to a victory and a sweep of the Phoenix weekend after his Xfinity (Nationwide) Series win, but a caution came out when Scott Riggs slammed the Turn 3 wall and set up a green-white-checkered finish. As the leaders ducked into pit road, several opted for two tires including Newman and Jeff Gordon. Busch took four and lost several positions in the process. On the final restart, Newman edged ahead of Gordon and stayed there for the final two laps to score his first win as a member of Stewart-Haas Racing.
