Kyle Busch wins NASCAR Xfinity race at Watkins Glen

Kyle Busch won the Xfinity race at Watkins Glen International on Saturday, recovering from a spinout and a pit road penalty for the milestone victory.

Busch topped the Penske Racing duo of Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski and easily beat them on a restart with three laps to go for his 90th series win. Watkins Glen International and Pocono were the only tracks currently on the Xfinity schedule where Busch had not won. He’s also won on every track in the Cup series except Charlotte.

Logano was second in his bid to win this race for the third straight time from the pole and Keselowski was third, followed by Justin Allgaier and Paul Menard.

Busch started second, quickly passed Logano for the lead and led the first 16 laps before wheel-hopping his No. 18 Toyota and spinning out on the first turn, a 90-degree right-hander that points downhill, on lap 17.

Keselowski won the opening stage under caution and gained a big advantage over Busch, who drove through too many pit stalls (four) during his first pit stop and was penalized.

He restarted near the back of the 40-car field.

Perfect Spirit wins Hambletonian on disqualification

Perfect Spirit was awarded the $1 million Hambletonian when first-place finisher What The Hill caused another horse to go off stride in the stretch and was disqualified Saturday in trotting’s biggest race.

It marked the first time in the 92-year history of the Hambletonian that a winner had disqualified after capturing the final.

There seemed to be little doubt about the decision that left harness racing’s all-time leading trainer Ron Burke wondering what he has to do to win the Hambletonian. He finished a close second the past two years and seemingly had ended his heartache after David Miller got What The Hill to the front in the stretch and cruised to a clear-cut victory. The elation didn’t last long. The judges posted an inquiry sign shortly after the finish and there was a dot next to What The Hill, signifying that his race was in question.

The judges deliberated about five minutes before disqualifying the first-place and giving Swedish driver-trainer Ake Svanstedt his first Hambletonian win.
