On Sunday Kyle Busch bounced back from one of his many Bristol heartbreaks with a dominating win at the Food City 500, leading 378 of 503 laps for his second Sprint Cup Series victory of the season.

The victory moved Busch (+500 to win Sprint Cup) closer to the top of the standings as he is sitting in fourth overall with 709 points.

Jeff Gordon (+450), his teammate at Hendrick Motorsports, was fourth on Sunday. Gordon remains on top of the overall standings with 794 points.

Kurt Busch (+1500) is in second place with 718 points, while Clint Bower (+2500) is in third place with 715 points.

Carl Edwards (+450) sits in fifth with 665 points, Kasey Kahne (+3000) is next with 639 points, and Tony Stewart (+1500) is not far off with 633 points.

A Busch brother has won the past three races. Kyle won at Las Vegas earlier this month, and Kurt followed it with a win at Atlanta.
