Kyle Busch took home his third checkered flag of the season when he topped the podium at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. It was Busch’s eighth win at Bristol in his career and he had to hold off his brother Kurt to take the top spot.

Kyle Busch now owns a commanding lead in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series with 361 points, 27 more than Denny Hamlin in second place.

The circuit heads to Richmond Raceway for the Toyota Owners 500, which is another race that Busch won last year.
