Kurt Busch robbed Denny Hamlin of the checkered flag by 0.062 seconds, sliding sideways through the finish in one of the most exciting final laps in NASCAR history at Richmond International Raceway.

Vegas Race Boasts Hometown Flavor

Plenty of local angles will pepper the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series field this weekend. There are the two usual suspects: The brothers Busch, Kurt and Kyle. Kyle won at Las Vegas in 2009. Kurt’s best finish at his home track was third in 2005.

Brendan Gaughan, a third Las Vegas native, will make a spot start this weekend. A NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular, Gaughan will drive the No. 33 Chevrolet this weekend for Richard Childress Racing. Gaughan ran fulltime in the series in 2004 and has one top five and four top 10s in 38 career starts.
