The drought is over.
Kyle Busch won his first race in over a year on Sunday at Pocono Raceway after starting from the pole. Busch passed Kevin Harvick with fewer than 20 laps to go and never looked back as he earned his first checkered flag at the Tricky Triangle.
The win locks the 2015 NASCAR champion into the playoffs. Prior to Sunday's race, Busch was the first winless driver in simply based on merit, but now he can begin focusing on winning the title as opposed to chasing a playoff spot. Busch was one of our picks to win on Sunday.
