Kyle Busch earned his third victory of the 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series season by winning the season’s sixth race, the My Bariatric Solutions 300, at Texas Motor Speedway.

After emerging with the lead following his final pit stop of the sixth race on the 33-race 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series race, the My Bariatric Solutions 300, at Texas Motor Speedway, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch hung on to earn his third victory in four Xfinity Series starts so far this season.

The only Xfinity Series race in which Busch has competed but not won so far this season is the race at Auto Club Speedway. Busch finished this race in second place behind Stewart-Haas Racing’s Cole Custer.

Busch, who started the 200-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) high-banked Texas Motor Speedway oval in Fort Worth, Texas in fifth place in his #18 Toyota, won it by 0.861 seconds over Richard Childress Racing’s Tyler Reddick, who finished in second in his Chevrolet.

This victory is the 95th victory of Busch’s Xfinity Series career, extending his all-time record, and it is the 203rd victory of his NASCAR career, also extending his all-time record.

Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell, who started the race from the pole position and led more laps than anyone else in the field with 127 laps led, finished in third place in his #20 Toyota.

Stewart-Haas Racing’s Chase Briscoe was the highest finishing Ford driver of the race. He finished in fourth place in his #98 Ford. JR Motorsports’ Jeb Burton rounded out the top five by finishing in fifth in his #8 Chevrolet.

JR Motorsports’ Michael Annett, Kaulig Racing’s Justin Haley, XCI Racing’s Jeffrey Earnhardt, GMS Racing rookie John Hunter Nemechek and RSS Racing’s Ryan Sieg rounded out the top 10 by finishing in sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th place in their #1 Chevrolet, #11 Chevrolet, #81 Toyota, #23 Chevrolet and #39 Chevrolet, respectively.

The race featured a total of 11 lead changes among five drivers. Aside of Busch, who led only 33 laps in what was a rare non-dominant Xfinity Series victory for him, four drivers led at least one lap of the race. Those drivers were Reddick, Bell, Sieg and JR Motorsports’ Noah Gragson. Bell won stage one and Sieg won stage two.

The race also featured a total of nine caution flag periods, of which took place as a result of on-track incidents and two took place as a result of the endings of stages one and two, for 50 laps. Of the 38 drivers who started the race, 31 finished it and 14 finished it on the lead lap.
