Kyle Busch owns Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Busch swept the weekend for the second year in a row Sunday, winning the Brickyard 400 by 2.1 seconds over Matt Kenseth. Busch won the Xfinity Series race Saturday, and he won both races last year.

Jeff Gordon, the five-time race champ filling in for an injured Dale Earnhardt Jr., finished 13th. Two-time race champ and Columbus, Indiana, native Tony Stewart, who started third and is retiring full-time from NASCAR after this year, took 11th.

Busch held off several challenges on late restarts.
