    NEWS RELEASE Contact • Jonina Costello [email protected] • Jason Bear [email protected] • Phone 805.529.3700 KYLE BUSCH ADVANCES IN NASCAR PLAYOFFS WITH DOMINATING NEW HAMPSHIRE WIN DVX™-Sponsored Driver Earns Third Victory of Season, Locks Up Spot in Round of 12 By Winning Sunday’s ISM Connect 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway DVX™-sponsored racing veteran Kyle Busch notched his third victory of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season and the 41st in his illustrious career by taking the checkered flag in the ISM Connect 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, September 24. Perhaps more importantly, the victory assured Busch’s advancement into the NASCAR Round of 12 “playoffs” as he continues driving towards his ultimate goal of being crowned 2017 series champion. Busch won Sunday’s race in dominating fashion, starting with pole position and leading for 187 of the 300 laps of this famous 1.058-mile track. The race was not without serious challenges for Busch, however. A crash involving several cars at the race’s midway point created a smokescreen on the backstretch, and it took all of Busch’s driving skills and composure under pressure to navigate his way cleanly through the smoke and wreckage. He credited his Joe Gibbs Racing Team spotter for helping him check his speed and make his way through the mess without getting hit from behind. Once that experience was in his rear view, Busch was in control of the race — except for a short three-lap period when he lost the lead with a two-tire stop under caution.
