Kyle Busch came back from getting sideways (and almost spinning out) early to eventually pass Clint Bowyer, and lead the final seven laps to win the NCWTS North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

This was Busch’s 4th series win of the 2011 season, his 28th series career win (ties Mike Skinner & Jack Sprague for second in all-time wins in the series) his fourth series win at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and his 97th national win (moves into a tie with Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip for third on the all-time national series wins list).

Following Busch and Bowyer to the drop of the checkered flag were Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Cole Whitt (who becomes the points leader with a 1 point lead over Johnny Sauter) finishing in third, James Buescher finishing fourth and Ron Hornaday Jr. finishing in the fifth position.

Johnny Sauter finished in the sixth position, while Austin Dillon finished seventh, Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender, Parker Kligerman eighth, Justin Marks ninth and Brad Sweet rounds out the top-ten finishers.
