Pocono tries Kurt Busch's fuel management; No. 41 team passes test

Kurt Busch not only had enough fuel to hold off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski to win Monday's rain-delayed Axalta 'We Paint Winners' 400, but he had enough to celebrate his Chase for the Sprint Cup berth with a lengthy burnout on the frontstretch of Pocono Raceway.

That's another win for Chevrolet, and another win for Stewart-Haas Racing. For Busch, it's his third Pocono win with three different teams and three different manufacturers; his 28th NASCAR Sprint Cup win.

It's especially sweet considering Tony Gibson, Busch's crew chief, was suspended for a lug nut violation before a race that would be decided by fuel mileage calculation.
