AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Carl Edwards rolled to a dominating win at Phoenix International Speedway that temporarily staved off Kyle Busch's bid to clinch the Nationwide Series title.
Busch's first NASCAR championship is still a near-certainty - he's up 190 points over Edwards and only needs to start next week's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway to grab the title.
But early problems Saturday spoiled Busch's bid to get it out of the way. He spun his Toyota eight laps into the race, suffered heavy damage when he hit the wall, and had to battle to a ninth-place finish.
