Kyle Busch passed Jimmie Johnson on the 266th of 267 laps of the Lifelock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway to win his seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup race of the season.
Busch took the lead on a restart and held on to win over Johnson, Kevin Harvick’s Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet and the Roush Fenway Racing Ford of Greg Biffle. Busch’s teammate Tony Stewart completed the top five.
Busch took the lead at the start, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Jeff Burton and Jimmie Johnson. Edwards took over second on Lap 3, while Burton quickly fell back after making light contact with Edwards.
NASCAR threw a competition caution on Lap 36 to let teams come in and measure tire wear. Heavy rains on Friday night had washed all the rubber off the track, which is why NASCAR opted for the early yellow.
When the cars pitted, Busch led Edwards, Earnhardt, Johnson and Matt Kenseth. Burton missed his pit stall and had to come around and pit, only to get a pit-road speeding penalty. He rejoined the race in 41st.

Most of the leaders pitted, but Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle, Brian Vickers, Ryan Newman and Jason Leffler all stayed out to take the lead over Kyle Busch, Johnson, Edwards, Stewart and Kenseth. Hamlin rejoined the race four laps down.
The green flew on Lap 53, with Gordon out front. But Biffle went to the outside and took over the point on Lap 56, his Roush Fenway Racing Ford looking as strong as Edwards’s car had earlier. Seven laps later, Vickers took over second, dropping Gordon to third. The following lap, Stewart took fourth from teammate Kyle Busch.
Stewart took the lead on Lap 93, as Biffle, Vickers and the other leaders who didn’t pit under the second caution had to stop under green.
When the race hit the 100-lap mark, Stewart led by 0.878 seconds over Martin Truex Jr., Edwards, Harvick, Kenseth, Martin, Johnson, David Ragan, Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch.
