Kyle Busch earned Joe Gibbs Racing and Raybestos Brakes & Chassis the team’s fifth 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup series season win at Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
After leading the final 16 laps, Busch, in his No. 18 M&M’s Toyota, crossed the stripe .568 seconds ahead of Jimmie Johnson. This secured his fourth series win of the season and the 23rd of his career. With this victory, Busch, the Cup points leader, becomes the first driver to clinch a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
