Penske Racing's Kurt Busch gambled on fuel mileage to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, but that was just one of the story lines emerging this weekend.
Hendrick Motorsports' Jimmie Johnson crashed just three laps into the race and spent 113 laps undergoing repairs in the garage, opening the door to his fellow competitors in NASCAR's Chase For The Sprint Cup and tightening the championship battle with two races to go. Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch also suffered his share of heartbreak, missing out on a chance to win three races in one weekend by just three laps when he ran out of fuel while leading the Cup race.
He won the Nationwide race in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and the Camping World Truck Series race driving for Billy Ballew Motorsports.
