In NASCAR, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr got the best of race leader Kyle Busch in a side-by-side duel on the next-to-last lap yesterday at Talladega Superspeedway, charging to his first career victory and ending a 101-race winless drought for Roush Fenway Racing. As heard on WEBO, Stenhouse made his big move during overtime after a push from Jimmie Johnson and then held off the rest of the field to claim victory in his 158th career start. The win marks Roush Fenway’s first trip to a Cup Series Victory Lane since Carl Edwards won at Sonoma Raceway in 2014. Aric Almirola won Saturday’s Xfinity Series race.
