NASCAR: Edwards bumps Busch for win

Carl Edwards bumped teammate Kyle Busch out of the way on the final lap to win the Toyota Owners 400 Sunday at Richmond International Raceway.

In a tight finish, reigning Cup champion Kyle Busch looked to have won the race after holding off the challenge from Job Gibbs Racing teammate Edwards at the final restart. But Edwards, who led a race-high 151 laps, bumped Busch and swept past him, picking up his second straight race win and completing a monthlong sweep by Joe Gibbs Racing; Busch had won the two races before Edwards.

Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne and Kevin Harvick rounded out the top five.

The JGR pair had traded places for much of the race and Edwards looked the more dominant of the two, leading 151 laps to Busch's 63, but it was the final one that counted.

Jimmie Johnson recovered to third after poor handling meant he spent much of the race on the fringes of the top 10. His Hendrick team-mate Kasey Kahne finished fourth.

Qualifying was cancelled due to rain and grid results were determined on practice pace, but erstwhile series points leader Kevin Harvick could not capitalize on his pole position and finished fifth.

Denny Hamlin recovered to sixth after a pit lane violation for an uncontrolled tire dropped him back.

Fellow JGR driver Matt Kenseth fought back to finish seventh, having had to swap batteries at a caution midway through.

Joey Logano finished eighth. Anticipating plenty of cautions, his Penske Ford was set up with short runs in mind but with the first yellow not until lap 157, he went a lap down early on.

Behind ninth-placed Martin Truex Jr, Kurt Busch rounded out the top 10 after a poor pit stop at the final caution meant he could not continue a late battle with his brother for the lead.

A tire puncture midway through the race left Tony Stewart a lap down on his return from injury, but he recovered to finish 19th.
