Kyle Busch won the Dollar General 300 from Phoenix International Raceway. It was his first win of the season. Brad Keselowski, Justin Allgaier, Trevor Bayne and Elliott Sadler rounded out the top five.
The pole sitter of the race was Kyle Busch in the No. 54 Monster Energy Toyota. He led 142 laps, the most of anyone. His Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Matt Kenseth, led the next most laps at 41.
Busch’s win was his fifth in the Nationwide Series at Phoenix but his first since the 2011 season. Busch failed to win a race in the series last season while driving for his own team. This winter he partnered with Gibbs to field his car.
Making a rare Nationwide Series start in the No. 5 for JR Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson struggled for much of the day and never led a lap before finishing 12th.
