While Kyle Busch was happy his older brother won at Kentucky, he was disappointed to be edged for second place.

Kurt Busch won his first race in nearly a year and locked himself into a spot in the upcoming playoffs with his win in Saturday night’s Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

In an exciting finish and final lap battle with younger brother Kyle, the elder Busch sibling held on when the two brothers made contact heading into Turn 4 and edged ahead to take the checkered flag.

Erik Jones tied his best finish -- third-place -- for the fourth time thus far this season.

Wrapping out the top 5 were Kurt Busch’s Chip Ganassi Racing teammate, Kyle Larson, in fourth place and Denny Hamlin rallied late to finish fifth.
