Die Macht » Cahill swung his right boot and was richly rewarded

INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Busch spent most of this weekend hearing about a historic sweep. On Sunday, he got to dust off the answers.Busch led a record 149 of 170 laps and beat teammate Matt Kenseth to the finish line by 2.126 seconds in the second overtime to win his second straight Brickyard 400. Coupled with his Xfinity Series success Saturday, Busch became the first NASCAR driver to win both poles and both races on the same weekend.Ive never had a dominant car like this, Busch said after winning for the fourth time this season. This is obviously a special day and a special car.The impressive feat overshadowed two other storylines:?Jeff Gordons comeback and Tony Stewarts farewell.Stewart finished 11th in his final race at Indianapolis, and Gordon was 13th. Gordon came out of retirement to replace?Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has battled concussion-like symptoms and has not yet been cleared by doctors to drive. Afterward, the two drivers who grew up in Indiana drove side-by-side around the 2.5-mile oval.I have gained so much respect and admiration for Tony, Gordon said. I love this guy. I have always respected his talent.But nobody was better than Busch this weekend. One year after he won both Indy races, he joined third-place finisher Jimmie Johnson as the only back-to-back winners of the Brickyard. Johnson won in 2008 and 2009.Busch surrendered the lead for 14 laps after his first pit stop, regained it when race leader Brad Keselowski pitted, then gave it up again for only five laps when he made his second pit stop. Everyone else spent the day chasing Busch.The No. 18 car was so strong that Roger Penskes drivers started with a strategy of trying to stretch their runs long enough to make one fewer pit stop. It didnt work. Logano finished seventh, and Keselowski wound up 17th. The only real challenge for Busch came with a series of late crashes that delayed his fourth trip to victory lane this season.The crashes began when Carl Edwards car wiggled in the first turn on a restart with seven laps to go. His car slid up the track, hit Keselowski and wound up involving Ryan Blaney, Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick. Nobody was seriously hurt, but the wreck brought a red flag out for almost eight minutes.On the ensuing restart, with three to go, Busch again pulled away, only to have a collision between Trevor Bayne and Clint Bowyer behind him to send the race into first overtime. It happened again when Jamie McMurray slid through the first turn and into the wall on the next restart, but Busch pulled away one more time for a historic win in a race that was actually 425 miles.I certainly didnt want one -- let alone five of them or however many there were, Busch said. We just wanted the race to go green til the end. We had a really good, long-run car til the end, so I felt like wed be able to hold off all those guys behind us, and then we had all those restarts.WHOS HOT: Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota. The team had three cars finish in the top five and heads to Pocono with back-to-back victories. Toyota, meanwhile, had three of its cars place in the top four.WHOS NOT: Hendrick Motorsports. Yes, Johnson ended a four-race streak with no top-threes, but nobody else finished in the top 10, and none of the four cars was even in contention for the lead.TOUGH WEEK: Greg Biffle wanted this weekend to be a tribute for his late father, who died Tuesday. Instead, Biffles day ended early, after he crashed on Lap 52.EMPTY SEATS: Its tough to fill roughly 250,000 seats. But the estimated crowd of about 50,000 left plenty of seats empty at a race that has seen attendance steadily dwindle the past eight years. The lone exception came in 2015, in what was supposed to be Gordons final ride.HE SAID IT: When Busch was asked whether his success the past two years at Indy would prompt him to follow the footsteps of his brother,?Kurt, and run in the Indianapolis 500, Kyle Busch responded, Well, I wont be following in his footsteps. Ill be?doing my own footsteps. It certainly may open up some avenues. Im not sure.UP NEXT: Pocono Raceway, July 31. Kenseth is the defending race winner.
