NASCAR XFINITY: Busch beats Blaney with last-lap pass

Kyle Busch used a stout car, solid fuel strategy and a final-lap pass of Ryan Blaney to win the XFINITY Series Lilly Diabetes 250 from the pole Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Busch started out front in the No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota -- his first pole position in either the XFINITY or Sprint Cup Series in his injury-shortened season -- and led 53 of the race's 100 laps around the 2.5-mile rectangular track.

Ryan Blaney took the lead from Bush with about 25 laps left on Saturday, but Busch caught up to the No. 22 Team Penske Ford in lapped traffic. Blaney finished second.

Teammate Daniel Suarez gave Busch competition early and finished third in the No. 18 Toyota. Paul Menard finished fourth in the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet and Elliott Sadler rounded out the top five in the No. 1 Roush Fenway Racing Ford.

Saturday's XFINITY Series race was a Dash 4 Cash race with Regan Smith winning a $100,000 check and advancing to the third round of the XFINITY Series bonus program, Aug. 21 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Smith also won the first round at Dover.
