A dramatic wreck on Lap 52 forced Busch to give back much of the gains he made in the Nationwide standings last week when Edwards wrecked on Lap 3 of last Saturday's race at Michigan International Speedway.
Busch had just passed Harvick for the lead and was barreling out of Turn 4 when Bristol rookie Chase Austin, with a tire down on his No. 07 Chevrolet, pulled down the track into Busch's path. The resulting violent collision sent Busch's Toyota hard into the frontstretch wall. Reed Sorenson's Chevy also was collected in the wreck.
Busch climbed from his car and disappeared into his transporter, as NASCAR red-flagged the race for more than 15 minutes for track cleanup. It was a kinder, gentler Busch who emerged some 10 minutes later.
"I saw a slow car up high, and he came right across the nose, right in front of me," Busch said. "I didn't know where to go except where I was going. I had Harvick on my outside, and he was able to miss it. Pretty unfortunate there that we got caught up in that mess.
"The car was awesome -- it was good, it was coming right to the front. Got all the way up there and was taking the lead, but mistakes happen sometimes -- I've made plenty. We'll go on and get them next week."
