Busch led the way at the start of a two-lap overtime and got a big push from Austin Cindric which helped him pull away and he held off Justin Allgaier for the win at Texas Motor Speedway, his 10th victory at the track.
Busch is now two-for-two in the Xfinity Series this season and will try to make it three wins in three starts next weekend at Nashville Superspeedway.
Busch has said that if he reaches 100 career wins, he would retire from series competition.
“It feels really good, obviously. Just driving these Toyota Supras for Joe Gibbs Racing … just good stuff,” Busch said. “The guys gave me a great car today.
“Thanks to (Cindric) for helping me out. It seems like you can’t win these things on your own anymore from the front row.
“As close as (Allgaier) was, he was too close. He did a good job with what he had, I was finally able to prevail on one of those restarts, and it was hard to do because his car was really good and we controlled it the rest of the way.”
Cindric finished third, Daniel Hemric was fourth and Brandon Jones rounded out the top-five.
“We were really good to start with, we just struggled to keep up with the track,” Cindric said. “Overall a good race, happy to get a playoff point.”
Completing the top-10 were A.J. Allmendinger, Noah Gragson, Brett Moffitt, Justin Haley and Michael Annett.
