No. 3 Kyle Busch prevails over Joey Logano after a Green-White-Checkered finish (2015).

The summer of 2015 was the period in which Kyle Busch showed the most dominance of the season with wins in Sonoma, Kentucky, New Hampshire and Indy all in just a few weeks. In the Brickyard 400 he was able to steal the lead from Kevin Harvick on a restart with just a handful of laps to go and when another caution fell he was in front of an aggressive Joey Logano. During the subsequent Green-White-Checkered the two leaders stretched out and fought for the final two laps with Logano on the bumper of Busch ready to use a possible mistake of the leader to his advantage. The mistake never came, Busch closed all the possible opportunities for a pass and won completing one of the many weekend sweeps of his career.
