LOUDON, NH – Kyle Busch on Saturday won the AutoLotto 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday. It is his 82nd XFINITY Series win and 6th of the year. He dominated the race, leading 190 of the 200 laps.

In the process, Busch raised his total of XFINITY laps led to 17,064, once again extending his own record. Busch won for the fifth time in 11 races at the Magic Mile and the sixth time in 10 starts this season.

"I guess they're big numbers," said Busch, who ran the entire race on one set of left-side tires and arrived at the finish line 1.499 seconds ahead of Jones, who had taken four tires on his final pit stop under caution on Lap 178. "I really don't know what big numbers are, and records are made to be broken.

"There may be somebody like me that comes along down the road that does the same thing that I've been fortunate enough to do … Running in this series is something fun for me to do, cool for me to do, and it also helps me out and gets me a little more experience."

Erik Jones finished second, followed by Brad Keselowski, Daniel Suarez, Austin Dillon, Brennan Poole, Justin Allgaier, Alex Bowman, Brendan Gaughan, and Elliott Sadler.

We had a decent day," Keselowski said. "A little better than where we have been, which was something to be proud of, but of course we want to get to Victory Lane with the (No. 22 Team Penske) Ford. We aren't quite there, but we'll keep pushing.

"That was a step in the right direction overall for sure."

Alex Bowman turned left into Austin Dillon's No. 3 Chevrolet off Turn 2 on Lap 76, sending Dillon's car into the outside wall.

"He tried to wreck me about four times after (the accident)," Bowman said after the race. "I don't blame him for being upset. He has every right to be upset…

"He drove me way up the race track (right before the contact). He obviously got tight underneath me. I had a ton of wheel in it, and it finally caught. I barely came off the wall. You come off the wall six inches and you tag somebody in the right rear. I hate that for the 3 car, but I definitely didn't do it intentionally. He can think what he wants."

Bowman was able to continue despite damage to the left front of his No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet and scored an eighth-place finish. Dillon, on the other hand, finished 33rd.

There were 7 cautions for 37 laps and 3 lead changes among 3 leaders. The average speed was 98.789 MPH.
