Kyle Busch added to his record-setting NASCAR season by winning the Nationwide Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on Saturday night.
It was the seventh Nationwide Series win of the year and the 18th NASCAR win for Busch.
Carl Edwards finished second, but the only driver who had a car that could catch Busch at Fontana was Brian Vickers. Before the first pit stops, Vickers had a faster car than Busch, but Vickers had to drive through traffic to catch Busch, who started from the pole.
Vickers worked his way into second place, then ran into a series of mishaps.
He had a loose lug nut after the first pit stop and was called back into the pits. He lost valuable track position having to make a second pit stop to tighten the lug nut.
Then he hit the wall on lap 57 and fell back midway through the race.
As the race winded down, Vickers worked his way back to the front and finished third, behind Busch and Edwards.
"We fought traffic all night," Vickers said. "Just ran out of time really, more than anything. We definitely could have at least given him a race."
