NASCAR Kansas Results: Busch suffers HEARTBREAK as SHOCK star steals the playoff show

Ross Chastain can finally call himself a race winner in 2024 after taking the victory in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway this afternoon, with Kyle Busch left to question what could have been as his winless drought continues.

After 10 cautions and 14 changes of the lead, Chastain ensured his #1 Chevrolet was the car to take the checkered flag after 267 laps of action, finishing ahead of the likes of William Byron and Michael Truex Jr, the latter of whom he passed after a late restart.

It was a heartbreaking afternoon for Busch, though. The #8 Chevrolet driver was out front with 32 to go when he spun without contact, eventually finishing well down the order in 19th as a result.

Elsewhere, it was a positive day for the #9 Chevrolet of playoff contender Chase Elliot.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver had started the race at the back of the order after an engine issue in practice, but made up an impressive 29 places to ensure he is still above the dotted line in the playoff standings as the Cup Series heads to Talladega next week.
