Martin Truex Jr. won a fuel-mileage gamble, holding off Matt Kenseth on the final lap to capture the NASCAR Cup race at Watkins Glen International on Sunday.
Brad Keselowski had a big lead but was forced to pit with three laps to go. That gave the lead to Ryan Blaney, who began to run dry and had to pit before taking the white flag. Trailing by 3 seconds after saving fuel for several laps, Truex assumed the lead in his No. 78 Toyota and, despite a vbobble and locking the brakes as Kenseth challenged on the last lap, won for the fourth time this season. Rookie Daniel Suarez was third, followed by Denny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer.
Pole-sitter Kyle Busch was seventh. Four races Michigan, Bristol, Darlington and Richmond remain before the playoffs start. Busch, who dominated qualifying earlier in the day, was the class of the field early and gained a big lead in the esses after the green flag dropped and dominated the first stage, leading all 20 laps. By the eighth time around the 2.45-mile circuit, Busch held a 3.4-second lead over Truex, while Keselowski in sixth was 10 seconds behind. It was ninth stage win of the season.
Busch, who overcame a pit road penalty early in Xfinity race at The Glen and rallied to win, had to return to the pits after his first stop to check for a loose wheel and restarted 34th. Chase Elliott assumed the top spot until he pitted nine laps later, giving the lead to Suarez, who barely held off Truex to win the second stage, the first of his rookie season. we can keep it Suarez said over his radio.
