HAMPTON, Ga. — Jamie McMurray believed he had the fastest car from the first practice to the last lap Saturday night.
McMurray proved the point by taking the lead for good on the final restart and holding off Kyle Busch to win the Great Clips 300 Nationwide Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Busch, trying to become the first driver in the 28-year history of the Nationwide Series to win 11 races in a season, fell short in his late attempt to catch McMurray.
Busch dropped from first to third as McMurray took the lead coming out of pit row following the final caution flag on the 167th of 195 laps.
Busch led the most laps in the race but finished second, less than a second behind McMurray. Carl Edwards was third.
