Suárez pays tribute to Kyle Busch after Coca-Cola 600 win: ‘This one is for him’

• Nascar champion died last week at age of 41

• Sport honors late driver before Sunday’s race

Daniel Suárez honored his close friend Kyle Busch in the best way possible on Sunday night.

Suárez used a two-tire pit stop and hard rain to hold off Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin and win an emotional Coca-Cola 600 in the first race since the death of 41-year-old two-time Nascar champion Busch. Suárez’s third career Cup Series victory broke an 82-race winless streak for the driver. The veteran was a part-time driver in Nascar’s truck series in 2015 and 2016, wheeling the Kyle Busch Motorsports No 51.
