Even after missing nearly three months of the season with a broken leg and broken foot, Kyle Busch is looking more and more like he'll drive his way into a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup sweepstakes.  He led 163 of 267 laps on Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway to win the Quaker State 400.  Busch led 163 of 267 laps, including the final 18 after getting by Joey Logano, and held on for his second win of the season.

Logano finished second while Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing teammates; Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth completed the Top 5.

Kevin Harvick remained in first place in the season’s points standings with Jimmie Johnson moving into second, followed by Logano, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Martin Truex Jr.  Meanwhile Kyle Busch moves up to 35th place in the standings, 87 points behind 30th place Cole Whitt.  With two victories already in his pocket, Busch needs to finish 30th or better in the standings to earn a spot in the championship seedings.

Next on the schedule is the first of two trips this season to New Hampshire Speedway on Sunday.
