5th place - Kyle Busch escapes carnage
JIM UTTER

DOVER, Del. - Although he was one of the 12 cars collected in the late-race wreck on Lap 387 of Sunday's race at Dover, Kyle Busch was able to escape without serious damage and kept his championship hopes alive.
“It definitely was an adventure out there today,” he said.
“We got through that big wreck luckily somehow, some way, with just a little cosmetic damage there to the left-rear and the wing plate torn off.
"It was a good day for us and a well-deserved finish, but maybe even a few spots better than what we deserved.”
