HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Kurt Busch passed brother Kyle with 24 laps left and won Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race to complete a sibling weekend sweep at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Kurt Busch raced to his first victory of the season, 33rd overall and the fourth of his career at Atlanta. He locked up a spot in the playoffs and possibly improved his chances of securing a new ride next season.
Kyle Busch reclaimed the lead with 47 laps remaining, but couldn’t hold off his older brother on Lap 236.
Martin Truex Jr. finished third after starting at the back of the pack. Alex Bowman was fourth, followed by Ryan Blaney.
