HAMPTON, Ga. Kyle Busch earned his record 102nd NASCAR Xfinity Series race victory Saturday afternoon in the Credit Karma Money 250 at Atlanta Motor Speedway - taking the checkered flag in overtime to top a perfect 5-for-5 record in Xfinity starts this season.
The winningest driver in serieshistory proclaimed Saturday s work to be his final curtain call, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion saying he would no longer compete in the Xfinity Series.
Ironically, in what should have been his biggest bow before the fans - his traditional victory celebration - Busch, 36, opted for a more subdued acknowledgement of the win. He placed the flag inside his Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 Toyota and conceded the win wasn t exactly how he wanted to add to his historic victory tally.

La série NASCAR Xfinity faisait son premier « voyage de retour » de la saison avec une deuxième course en 2021 sur le Atlanta Motor Speedway. À sa dernière présence, Alex Labbé avait terminé 17e. Il a donc amélioré son résultat de deux positions sur cette même piste.
Les pilotes ont dû braver la chaleur alors que le thermomètre a atteint 30 degrés Celsius pendant la course. « C’était encore une journée très chaude. Nous nous sommes battus pour atteindre la 15e position grâce aux nombreux restart en fin de course. Nous avions la vitesse pour terminer 24 ou 25e, mais les choses ont tout de même bien tourné pour nous », a expliqué le pilote de la voiture 36 Larue.

In the moments after winning the final NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway before the track undergoes a polarizing reprofiling over the summer, and just before beginning a scorching news conference targeting Speedway Motorsports Inc. for recent decisions, Kyle Busch wanted a memento.
The two-time Cup Series champion asked SMI executive Donald Hawk to send him a chunk of pavement after the bulldozers arrive next week. Other than getting into my teammate Daniel Hemric and him crashing, I sure am glad to win the final Xfinity Series race on a real Atlanta racetrack, Busch said. Because the next one is just going to be a showpiece, and it’s going to be shit.
