Busch wins NASCAR race at Pocono

Kyle Busch had no one to bump him out of the lead this week, storming from the bottom half of the field Sunday at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway on the way to his sixth NASCAR Cup victory of the season.

Busch was set to start second but his No. 18 Toyota was one of 13 cars dumped to the back of the pack for flunking post-qualifying inspection. That was nothing but a minor bump for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver, who matched Kevin Harvick for most wins this season.

Harvick used a bump-andrun on the 18 with seven laps left last week at New Hampshire to knock Busch out of contention. Harvick’s pole qualifying run also was tossed out but he ended up leading 30 laps and finished fourth.

The race was red-flagged with six laps left in the wake of a violent wreck by Darrell Wallace Jr., who appeared to lose the brakes in his No. 43 Chevrolet as the car shot across the grass and slammed into the wall. He was taken to the track medical center.

Once the race resumed, Busch zipped away and he surged ahead again on the final restart in overtime to add to the win total for NASCAR’s Big Three: Busch, Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. have won 16 of 21 Cup races.

IndyCar: Alexander Rossi won at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington for his second IndyCar victory of the season and fourth overall, starting from the pole and using a two-stop strategy to run away from the field. The 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner finished 12.8 seconds ahead of rookie Robert Wickens in the caution-free race.

Formula One: Lewis Hamilton heads into F1’s summer break with a 24-point lead over Sebastian Vettel after cruising to victory from pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Hamilton secured a second straight win, his fifth of the season. Vettel was second.
