5 quick takeaways from Kyle Busch’s 2nd NASCAR Cup championship
HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA - NOVEMBER 17: Kyle Busch, driver of the #18 M&M's Toyota, celebrates with aburnout after winning the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Cahmpionship and the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead Speedway on November 17, 2019 in Homestead, Florida. Kyle Busch won his second NASCAR Cup championship Sunday by rolling to a convincing victory over Martin Truex Jr. in a 400-mile race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida.
Ideally, for entertainment purposes, all four championship drivers would have been bumper-to-bumper entering the final laps of the race, setting up a thrilling shootout. But Busch really won the race with a shrewdly timed pit stop with 56 laps to go in the 267-lap event. Truex waited five laps to make his final pit stop, enabling Busch to extend his lead on fresher tires.

Busch, a flamboyant native of Las Vegas who has really embraced his role as a rowdy villain in what remains of the stock-car soap opera, was somewhat subdued after getting out of his car, saying, “There’s always your doubters, there’s always your haters, but this one’s for Rowdy Nation. You’re the best.
The stands at Homestead-Miami Speedway appeared to be about two-thirds full. That translates to a crowd of roughly 35,000, including those fans in the suites. ISM Raceway in Phoenix will play host to the 2020 finale, with Homestead assigned a Cup race at the end of spring break — just what youngsters want to do on a Sunday in South Florida instead of going to the beach. NBC seemed to shy away from overhead shots that showed bird’s-eye views of the stands, because it did not look great on TV.
