Kyle busch puts toyota in victory lane. Not too far from the toyota home office as we welcome you to the sprint post race show. We are live from the Auto Club Speedway are for the third time kyle has won this race 29th career sprint cup you victory, and hes only 28 years old. March is his month. He marched to the front getting past kyle larson, the rookie, his brother kurt busch and tony stewart from stewarthaas racing. With michael waltrip, chris myers, glad to have you watching with us. A Record Number of lead changes for this track and this race, 35. In the end kyle celebrating and our steve byrnes is down there. Chris, kyle busch jumps out of the car and celebrates with his wife, samantha. Kyle, yesterday you said oh, thank you. That feels good. Yesterday you said the fans won, but today you won. Tell us how you won this race. I think the fans won today, too, man. Holy cow. What do you expect when you have a green white checkered finish and everyone has to put four tires on. That right there is the days of thunder thing there. What do you mean . Theres two laps to go. Everyone is going to pit. Unbelievable day. I cant say enough about interstate batteries, everybody from interstate, m ms, peanut, sn snickers, doublemint, toyota awesome today to be here again in their hometown and of course sprint. Appreciate them being here and helping us with our sport, monster energy, nothing greater than this to keep the party going all night long. Can i borrow your towel for a second . No, thats mine. To krista voda. What a weekend for kyle larson. I want to know, could 0 you smell that victory . Here you are battling kyle busch again. Talk about the last couple of laps. Yeah, i thought i wanted to start eighth and the 40 came out. We were in trouble there, or at least not up to the front and i dont know where everybody went, but i somehow ended up in second there and i was right on kyle down the backstretch. It went through my mind, man, i might sweep the weekend here. Heck of a day for this target chevy, the guys made some good calls all day. We kept bouncing back and forth between being loose and tight and then finally that last one good enough on the short run to charge to the front. Hats off to everybody on this car and, man, what a weekend. The 42 almost another win for kyle larson. Tony stewarts running position today looked a lot like a heart monitor. You spun, fell back to 43rd. Fought your way back. Then you thought you might have a spring issue like va gas. And then what a run to the finish with your teammate. Walk us through the final restart. I didnt know which lane he had been running all day and what lane he wanted as far as where he wanted to be when he got to turn one. Really proud of chad johnson and everybody be on this bass pro mobil one. At the end when we needed it the guys did a great job on pit road. We had some problems early in the day and then kept battling back and about the last 50 laps we finally got the car pretty decent. We just didnt have the track position to go with it. Sketchy not knowing what would happen but i was glad chad made the right call two weeks in a row. Some folks thought maybe you might have had an issue back and forth between yourself and kurt busch because of the blocking. He came over, you were highfiving. A great day for the organization. I dont think there was any blocking with us. I meant him. Thats what im saying. I never got underneath him like i did joey last year. He just was trying to keep me to where i was pushing, and i was trying to find an open lane. What he it was a little different. I was under joey last year when he was running me down the racetrack. He was glad that we had two shr cars there in contention at the end. We hadnt been a top five car all day. Really proud of these guys. Backtoback top five finishes for tony stewart. Tony had won two of the previous four races here, michael, but heartbreak for Jimmie Johnson. Five times hes won here, five times he was second. He led 104 laps, the most of any driver. Had a tire problem. We saw him drive away from jeff gordon. Thats something he wasnt able to do all day long on the long run. Jeff would close in quickly as the tires got older. This time jimmie was faster. Evidently so fast the tire couldnt hold up. Lets hear from the driver of the 48. He is with our jeff hammond. Jimmie johnson, it looked like you had the car to beat and all after sudden flat tire. Yeah, we did an awesome job as a race team and it everything we could to win the race today. Unfortunately, something out of our control let us down. I had that feeling i thought we were going to win at my home track once again and just a bummer it didnt work out. Spring is calling, this 48 is fast. Well come back next week to a very strong racetrack for the lowes chevrolet and hopefully get the job done there. Thanks. Heartbreak for jeff gordon. Well cover his story. Looked like he had the race won. But kyle busch, hes now won a race in ten straight seasons including, of course, today. [doorbell rings] hey. Hey. Whats this .

Starting 15th in the number 88 National Guard chevy from kannapolis, north carolina, Dale Earnhardt jr. actually from Las Vegas Kyle busch cut in front of Dale Earnhardt jr. To gather in the applause from gonzo and rutledge but the puppets here behind the wheel. He led only five laps two different times, kyle busch, holding off kyle larson to capture the win, michael waltrip, as we have our fifth different winner, fifth different race team to start the season. That equals the record in the chase. Of course ten the overall record. But impressive perfeormance fro toyota and kyle busch. What a run on the lap by kyle larson. When he got to turn three he was right on kyle busch and came up a little bit short. Sam hornish jr. On a day Joe Gibbs Racing had to say, hey, hamlin has to go to the hospital because after sinus infection at the last minute, helping out, jumping in. Look at danica 14th. Continues to show steady progress. Great run by michael annett. Brad keselowski, who said, hey, we might go four or five wide. It will be a crazy day. And wound up the points leader coming into the day, a difficult ride for him. Also greg biffle and kevin harvick. Harvick an earlier winner this year as well. And of course when had kyle was on with us on the prerace show, hey, it would be nice to win for toyota in this territory. He hadnt had a top five this year, but at the Auto Club Speedway kyle busch and the 18 car is number one right now. Well have more in a moment. I jy and i said i need something sportier. Annnd done.

And standing by with our third place finisher krista voda. A great day for stewarthaas racing. They make the call to take two tires, both tony stewart and kurt busch. It was the right call. You come home top five. You leave here with that almost feeling. Unreal. The amount of emotions are running well today, executing on pit road, daniel did a great job and this car was fast. And then to race your boss for a win. Neither one of us came home with the w so were both upset about that but at the same time it was a genuine moment for tony and i to race and put it all on the line for stewarthaas and i came home third, he came home fourth, congrats to kyle. He won. Those guys, theyve been fast all weekend. He executed and thats what it took. Real happy with our team. Kyle it a great job. Monster energy, thanks to those guys. Well get it the were making headway. Thanks again to haas automation. Thanks, kurt. He has not finished on the lead lap in the first four races. Kurt busch does that today. After five races, this we had to go over 400 miles, overtime, and those wins valuable. Kyle busch is now in the chase. And jeff gordon could taste that win. He was so close and the caution comes out late and then it all went crazy like Brad Keselowski predicted. The finish was nuts. We hope denny hamlin recovers from the sinus infection that forced him to go to the hospital, created some vision problems so he can get back behind the wheel. You heard from tony stewart. I would be concerned about kevin harvick. He does have the win in the bag. The car just not doing it for h him. He has the performance. I want a fast car. If it breaks, well get over that. He has the win, that virtually ensures him being in the chase. The hell get that car more reliable and then will finish races and win more. In summation today, things had to fall right with all drivers having tire issues. Think about the restart. Kyle busch started seventh on the inside. Landon cassill was on the outside front row. That slowed the outside lanes progress so everything went really perfectly for kyle busch. He had the first car on the track with four tires and he took advantage of those tires. And toyota headquarters for sales, they were in hollywood back in 57 when they started. They moved to torrence. A victory here for kyle.

The best finish second. Hell go in on a l roll as will we. I want to talk about Jimmie Johnson and jeff gordon. When you look at martinsville theyve won there eight times. They dominate. They had good runs today. They should go in with a positive vibe. They dominate this had race today as well. Those cars were both fast. Jimmies was fast out the gate. Its disappointing when you have cars like that and dont win. Today just had a little bit of everything. We never knew how the outcome would turn out due to the fact tires were going flat every 25 laps or so. It was amazing the winner never had a tire problem and thats why kyle busch could celebrate. Tonight on fox bobs burgers, american dad, family guy. Next sunday we will be at martinsville. Youll see that on fox.

[music] it is really unique show that combines story teling, motorbikes and some of the greatest stunts and maneuvers on bikes that you have seen. Best drivers, we are trying to pack everyones brains in and get their fill. We have over 1,000 effects in the show. It is nonstop fireworks, lasers going, lighting. The first time you hit the this is what we do. Were coming to a sitting near you. Come get it. Like a live action video game. We have incredible stunts alongside challenge marshal artist and hand to hand combat all brought together in a theatrical setting. We have the best of the best showmen, dancers. Everyone has been hand picked for a reason. The guys are so good. Theres some gold medalists in our show, and youll see them. I think the great thing is the show we put on together with the pyro and stuff adds to it and makes us look even better with all the fire going on. For us its just fun. Weve added ninjas, amazing marshal artist, super technical fighting and weaponry. This year theres an evil villain, and shes hot. She has an arena of destruction. The second half of the show you go into this gladiator contest where theyre forced to fight for their freedom. This is by far the biggest production ive ever been a part of. It feels like were in a movie because were rehearsing and memorizing and acting a little bit and the Group Training stuff. For me personally i think its one of the most fun things ive been a part of. I always like to say that the pyro alone in our show is enough to pay for the show and then you get the rest. I get the chance to remix a lot of the music and we have everything from metal, heavy rock, rock and roll, electronic. Were kind of always on the for front of what music is saying now. For the riders, they come in and have to be ready for the rehearsal period. You ride more than youre going to probably right ride before. Were here. Wboy rehearsal coming this little buildup of rehearsal, you come in and practice for about two hours and run through it and get into the full swing of things. Were at the headquarters and it was awesome. We were practicing the tricks. We were so scared and not used to seeing things like this. The danger aspect is high. Theres so much stuff going on and everything is so timed. You could have a dancer running up the landing and five seconds later were coming up the landing and theyre coming off the landing. I do a lot of yelling to make sure we have the right plan to make sure we know what to do. I think it helps out to let each other know whats going on. Im actually a good guy this year. Im not a bad guy. Theyre trying to bring me over to the bad side, and it doesnt work. I dabble in it and my team comes out and saves me. Its a lot of acting. Like everything we do is choreographed. When it becomes showtime, for that two hour stand these guys have to be focused, committed and have to trust each other and they have to stay on point until its over, and then they can relax and have a sigh of relief. Thats what it takes. I like watches these guys. We talked about it, and they put me here. Theyre on my left and right. Its pretty cool
