Xfinity results, points: HAMPTON, Georgia — Kyle Busch scored his 102nd Xfinity Series victory in his 363rd and likely last start on the circuit, winning Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Busch led the final two laps, snatching the lead from runner-up Jeb Burton in an overtime shootout to complete a clean sweep of his five Xfinity starts this season.
Busch previously had won this season at Road America, Nashville, Circuit of the Americas and Texas Motor Speedway.
Noah Gragson finished third Saturday, followed by Justin Haley and Ty Dillon in the last Xfinity race on the 1.54-mile oval before a reconfiguration for 2022 (about which Busch also had some strong opinions).
