BRISTOL, Tenn. – Ryan Blaney swept past Kyle Busch on a restart with six laps to go and held on to win Friday night’s rain-delayed Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Blaney survived contact with Kyle Larson with 19 laps remaining, fighting off Busch who was not happy with Blaney’s pace on the final restart.

Until that point, Busch seemed on his way to his seventh win in his last nine NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at Bristol.

Series points leader Chase Elliott finished third with Ty Dillon fourth and Regan Smith fifth.
