FONTANA, Calif. -- Cole Custer held off Kyle Busch to win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Auto Club Speedway on Saturday, preventing Busch from tying Richard Petty's record with his 200th career victory across NASCAR's three major series.
The 21-year-old Custer capitalized when a disastrous pit stop dropped Busch to 14th place with 33 laps to go in a race Busch had dominated up to that point.
Although Busch charged back through the field, he couldn't catch up to Custer, who drove his Stewart-Haas Racing Ford to his third career Xfinity victory on his home track.
