Kyle Busch on Stenhouse: ‘Just had to hold him off, and we didn’t’

Kyle Busch has one career victory at Talladega Superspeedway in what is now the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

He was on the cusp of making it two Sunday when it all unraveled for him on the final lap of a green-white-checkered overtime finish.

Busch was leading in his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota coming into Turn 2 after getting yet another in what was a series of terrific restarts when the No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. caught him, battled him door-to-door briefly and then passed to the inside of him for what turned out to be the race-winning move.
