HOMESTEAD, Fla. — No one had any chance of catching Kyle Busch in the third stage of Sunday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Busch got the lead from teammate Denny Hamlin shortly after the beginning of the third stage and cruised after a round of green-flag pit stops to win the race and the 2019 Cup Series title.
It’s the second championship of Busch’s career. He won the 2015 title by winning this same race in an injury-shortened season. Busch suffered severe lower-leg injuries in a hard crash in the season-opening Xfinity Series race.
