DOVER, Del. — As is the case at most NASCAR tracks, Kyle Busch heard the boos at Dover International Speedway.
The driver NASCAR fans love to hate no doubt had them even more exasperated when he arrived in Victory Lane — again.
Jeers and victories, they’re pretty much routine for the tempestuous Busch these days.
“I just want to win everything, man,” the series points leader said. “That’s all I’m here for.”
Busch was sensational again, dominating the second half of the 400-mile race Sunday and charging to his Sprint Cup series-best fourth win of the season.
“We were able to get to the right place at the right time when it mattered most,” Busch said.
Busch made it 10 victories total this season, including two in the Craftsman Truck Series and four in the Nationwide Series. He won for the third time in the last five Cup races.
And when the Joe Gibbs Racing driver doesn’t find himself taking the checkered flag at the end of a Cup race, he’s pretty close: Busch earned his fifth straight top-three finish and hasn’t finished outside of the top 10 in any of the last seven races.
“I’ve found something that’s worked for me recently,” said Busch, rattling off his list of successes.
Briscoe rules in Milwaukee
WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Ryan Briscoe held off Indianapolis 500 winner Scott Dixon and barely slipped through a late-race crash to win an IndyCar Series race at the Milwaukee Mile.
A week after an embarrassing pit lane accident that took out fan favorite Danica Patrick at Indy, Briscoe redeemed himself with his first victory for Team Penske.
“It’s huge,” the 22-year-old Australian said. “It feels so good to get the win. The car was just magic today. We just came through the field.”
Will finds a way
TOPEKA, Kan. — Hillary Will became the 11th woman in NHRA history to win a national event when she won in top fuel at the O’Reilly NHRA Summer Nationals.
John Force won for the first time this season in funny car and Ron Krisher took the pro stock title.
