Kyle Busch has won three NASCAR Cups in a row at Richmond. When he was celebrating Kyle was yelled by his boss Joe Gibbs. Mr.Gibbs told Kyle that he shouldn’t do that because he could run at risk. For Busch it seemed appropriate coming at the end of a week marked by ample discussion of his dustup with Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Richmond a decade earlier. That race many believe is what cemented Busch’s reputation as NASCAR’s newest on-track villain.

Busch, who started 32nd, but quickly worked his way into contention, outran Chase Elliott and teammate Denny Hamlin for his fifth career victory at Richmond Raceway, the most among active drivers. The victory is his 46th overall and came from the deepest starting spot in the field of his career. It is also the deepest starting position for a winner at Richmond, surpassing Clint Bowyer, who started 31st in 2008. The points leader also matched Kevin Harvick’s three-race winning streak from earlier in the season.
