    Kyle Busch took advantage of a rare speeding penalty by Jimmie Johnson to pull away late Sunday and win his second race in two days at Dover International Speedway.

    Busch missed the tripleheader sweep on the one-mile concrete track by just a couple gallons of gas.

    He was in position to win the Trucks Series race on Friday but ran out of gas at the end. He easily took the checkered flag in Saturday's second-tier series race and raced about 800 miles in three days.

    "It's not going to hurt my feelings too bad to go to bed tonight and know that I lost Friday," Busch said. "I'm going to think more about today."

    On Sunday, Busch swapped the lead with Johnson throughout most of the 400-mile race run in front of thousands of empty seats. Johnson, the four-time defending Cup champion, was hit with a late penalty for speeding exiting pit road.
