There was only one word to describe Kyle Busch’s Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Perfection.
Busch went from winning the pole by winning all three rounds of Saturday’s afternoon’s qualifying to absolutely dominating the Boyd Gaming 300, leading 199 of 200 laps, holding off his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Daniel Suarez by .817 seconds to score his 78th career Xfinity Series win and first career Xfinity Series win at LVMS.
