After harrying Scott for nearly three laps, Busch finally made the winning pass, putting an exclamation point on a dominant performance that saw him lead 92 laps.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — With two laps remaining in Friday night’s Subway Firecracker 250 at Daytona International Speedway, Matt Kenseth had a choice to make.
