Kyle Busch won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday to make it clean sweep at Indianapol­is. He led a race-record 149 of the 170 laps and beat Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth to the finish line by 2.126 seconds.

Jimmie Johnson was third, 2.638 seconds behind the defending Sprint Cup champ — thanks to the double overtime forced by three late crashes.

Busch became the first NASCAR driver to sweep the Xfinity Series and Cup poles and races on the same weekend, and joined Johnson as the only Cup drivers with back-to-back Indy wins. Johnson won in 2008-2009.

Five-time race winner Jeff Gordon finished 13th after coming out of retirement to replace Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has concussion symptoms.

Lewis Hamilton won the Hungarian Grand Prix for a record fifth time to take the Formula One championsh­ip lead from Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, who finished second at Budapest. Hamilton has five F1 victories this season for 192 points, six more than Rosberg.

John Force and Tony Schumacher notched their first NHRA wins this season at the Mile-High Nationals in Morrison, Colo. Force won in funny car, Schumacher in top fuel, and Allen Johnson won in pro stock.
