Chris Buescher played the perfect strategy – putting himself out front in the closing stages of the Food City 300. However, on a green-white-checkered, Buescher stuttered coming off turn two, which opened the door for Kyle Busch. Busch would then lead the rest of the way to score the victory in the Food City 300.
