Nascar champion died last week at age of 41
Sport honors late driver before Sunday’s race
Daniel Suárez honored his close friend Kyle Busch in the best way possible on Sunday night.
Suárez used a two-tire pit stop and hard rain to hold off Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin and win an emotional Coca-Cola 600 in the first race since the death of 41-year-old two-time Nascar champion Busch. Suárez’s third career Cup Series victory broke an 82-race winless streak for the driver. The veteran was a part-time driver in Nascar’s truck series in 2015 and 2016, wheeling the Kyle Busch Motorsports No 51.
