NEWTON, Iowa, July 31 (UPI) -- Kyle Busch had little trouble winning Saturday's U.S. Cellular 250 Nationwide Series race at Iowa Speedway, dominating for 208 of its 250 laps.

Busch temporarily lost the lead after a late-race restart in which he took four tires while Kevin Harvick took only two and briefly grabbed the top spot.
