NASCAR Richmond 400 Results

It was a big weekend for the Busch brothers.  Kurt won the Nationwide Series race on Friday night and Kyle went on to win the 2012 Richmond 400 the following night.  Busch took the lead with just 13 laps left in the race by passing Tony Stewart and then held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the win. 

Jr. finished in 2^nd place while Tony Stewart took 3^rd.  To round out the top 5, Denny Hamlin finished 4^th while Kasey Kahne came in at the 5^th position.  Busch paid off at 5-1 as the winner. 

After this week’s race Greg Biffle remains in the lead in the point standings, while Earnhardt sits in 2^nd, just 5 points back of the leader.  Hamlin remains in 3^rd with Matt Kenseth in 4^th.  The win moved Kyle Busch into 11^th position.  It bears mentioning that Busch needed a late caution to get the chance for the win over Stewart.
