FORT WORTH, Texas, April 4 (UPI) -- Kyle Busch captured Saturday's O'Reilly 300 at the Texas Motor Speedway, his third consecutive Nationwide Series victory.
Busch set a track record after leading 178 of 200 laps. He was the first driver to win from the pole in 17 Nationwide races at Texas.
Brad Keselowski closed on Busch with less than 15 laps to go, but John Wes Townley's accident set up a final seven-lap shootout.
On the final restart, Keselowski fell back to third. Tony Stewart, who switched tires during the final caution, moved up from seventh to finish second.
Busch finished 1.447 seconds ahead of Stewart for his 23rd career Nationwide victory. He also has won two Sprint Cup races and two Camping World Truck Series events so far this year.
Keselowski finished third after starting 42nd after crashing during his qualifying run Thursday.
David Ragan was fourth and Paul Menard fifth.
