Pocono Winners & Losers: Dale Earnhardt Jr. masters the runnerup finish, but when is he going to win?

Kurt Busch won two races in 2015. Or, as some might want to call it, 1.5 races.

Busch was thoroughly dominant in winning the 2015 Toyota Owners 400. He led 291 laps and couldn’t be touched in winning the Richmond race. It was his first win after returning five races earlier from suspension.

Then, six races later, Busch won again. But in this case, he took the checkered flag when the 2015 Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway was stopped on Lap 138 because of rain. In that win, Busch was able to use a bit of strategy and good luck to get the lead from Kyle Larson and hold on as the rain fell.
