NEWTON, Iowa --- Kyle Busch raced to his sixth victory in his past seven Nationwide starts and ninth of the season Saturday night, leading 209 of 250 laps in a dominating run in the U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway.
Busch moved a win away from the series season victory record of 10 he shares with Sam Ard. Busch, a 10-time winner in 2008, is second in series history with 39 victories -- nine behind Mark Martin's record.
Kevin Harvick was second, followed by Jason Leffler and Brad Keselowski.
Trevor Bayne, who became the first Nationwide driver in 18 years to capture three consecutive poles, finished fifth.
He was the first driver to start out front in three consecutive races since Jeff Gordon did it in 1992, and at 19 he's also the youngest to do so.
Harvick took the lead from Busch during a late pit stop by taking just two tires while Busch grabbed four. But Busch had the strongest car of the night, and he proved it by zipping past Harvick on the outside with 25 laps to go on the 0.875-mile oval.
For the second week in a row, Busch won without running a single practice lap.
Busch, who started second after flying back from practice for the Sprint Cup race Saturday at Pocono, grabbed the lead from Bayne on the opening lap, marking the 17th consecutive Nationwide race he's led at some point.
Bayne gave Busch all he could handle through the first third of the race and finally jumped back in front 76 laps in.
Bayne has yet to turn all that qualifying speed into a victory, though. He began to fade as the sun went down and was overtaken by Harvick two-thirds of the way in. Bayne's best finish came at Gateway two weeks ago when he crossed third.
Brian Keselowski drilled Colin Braun after Braun slid into the wall and came to a stop in the middle of the track 93 laps in. Brendan Gaughan, Paul Menard and Mark Green were also collected in the crash, which brought out a red flag.
Busch retook the lead on the restart and was 3 seconds ahead by the midway point.
TRUCK SERIES: In Long Pond, Pa., Elliott Sadler held off Kasey Kahne in a green-white-checkered finish to win the inaugural NASCAR Truck Series race at Pocono.
Sadler was the beneficiary after a flurry of late mishaps sent the trucks race into NASCAR's version of overtime. He cut off Matt Crafton's pass attempt inside, then pulled away from Kahne on the final lap to take victory.
It was Sadler's first trucks win, giving him victories in all three NASCAR racing series.
Sadler started from the pole and led for much of the first half before being challenged by points leader Todd Bodine and Sprint Cup stars Kahne and Denny Hamlin.
Each took turns near the front before Sadler closed with his late dash to the checkered flag. Kahne finished second, Crafton was third and Bodine wound up 12th.
ARCA: In Long Pond, Pa., Robb Brent won the ARCA race at Pocono Raceway for his first career victory and continued a season-long trend of new winners in Victory Lane.
Brent became the ninth first-time winner this year in the ARCA series. Dakoda Armstrong was second. There have been 10 different winners in 11 ARCA races, and Brent won for the first time in 48 career ARCA races.
