Race Video
There isn't a driver
out there on a
better run than
Busch, who is second
in the Sprint Cup
standings and
entered this race in
third on the
Nationwide list. In
a race that included
two red flags, he
stayed out of
trouble on the
2.518-mile road
course at Autodromo
Hermanos Rodriguez
before finally
moving past Pruett.
Ambrose trailed by
1.139 seconds with
two laps to go, and
cut more than
three-tenths of a
second off that
deficit on Lap 79.
But Busch was able
to hold on for a
0.737-second win.
In 2007 at this
race, Pruett was in
a similar spot when
teammate Juan
Montoya sent him
spinning. This year
-- at almost the
exact same point in
the race -- it
slipped away again.
The third-place
finish was still a
career best for the
48-year-old Pruett,
a road-course ace
making his 10th
Nationwide start. He
finished fifth in
Mexico City last
year.
Pole-sitter Colin
Braun barely had a
chance to get
comfortable before
Pruett passed him at
the start of the
second lap. Pruett
led by more than 6.4
seconds at one point
before a caution
brought him back to
the pack before the
66th lap.
