| Tony Stewart wins Coke Zero 400 after Busch's last-lap wreck!
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Busch braced himself for a four-lap "trophy dash" around Daytona International Speedway, intent on snatching a win away from Tony Stewart.
Busch thought he mapped out the strategy to take him to Victory Lane.
Instead, he ended the race in the infield care center after a vicious last-lap accident sent him flying into the wall as Stewart skirted by for a somber win.
RESULTS: Coke Zero 400
OVERHEATED: Busch needs IV following Grand-Am race
"That's not the way I wanted to do it," Stewart said after his Saturday night win gave him his third victory in five years in Daytona's summer race.
Stewart had the dominant car, leading a race-high 86 laps and using a flawless pit-road performance to set himself up for his second win as owner of his race team. But Busch had other ideas, taking the lead seconds before the last lap to start a frantic 2.5-mile chase between the former teammates.

| It's nice to see a dirt track guy remember his roots! I never used to care for Tony all that much, but I don't mind him at all now! Wow, I was really surprised Kyle walked away from that! I was actually wondering at first if he even survived it! I like Kyle, but he does do some bone-head moves at times!
