    Kyle Busch took the lead from Carl Edwards during pit stops with just over 30 laps to go and won his eighth NASCAR Nationwide Series race of the season Friday night.

    "That final pit stop, my guys really put the pressure on them knowing how good they'd been on pit road all night," Busch said after his fourth career victory at Richmond International Raceway.

    Edwards came back out fourth, and while he and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. battled for position, Busch was able to pull away and win by 0.696 seconds.

    Busch's victory was his 51st in the series, the most in history, and came in a race he and Edwards dominated on the 0.75-mile oval. Edwards led 160 laps, Busch 74, including the last 34.

    The two Sprint Cup Series regulars have won 14 of the 27 races in the series this year.

    While Busch thanked his pit crew for a "flawless job," Edwards refused to blame his for the issue that caused him to lose three spots after heading for pit road with the lead.
