Kurt Busch logra la segunda victoria de la temporada para Stewart-Haas Racing
Kurt Busch ha sido el ganador de la STP 500, sexta prueba de la temporada de la NASCAR Sprint Cup Series disputada el domingo en el Martinsville Speedway. Tras sufrir los rigores del Short Track Racing, con un fuerte enfrentamiento en la pista con Brad Keselowski, el mayor de los Busch retorna al Victory Lane y se reserva una plaza para la lucha por el campeonato tras una racha de 83 carreras sin conocer la victoria.
