Punches flew on pit road after Saturday\u2019s NASCAR Xfinity Series LS Tractor 200 at <\/span>Phoenix Raceway<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>. Brandon Brown had to defend himself from Dillon Bassett\u2019s attack while Brandon Jones burned them down after holding off Kyle Busch for the win. On Sunday, Joey Logano got his second win of the season in the NASCAR Cup Series FanShield 500, fending off a late run by Kevin Harvick. <\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Jones<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> passed his <\/span>Joe Gibbs Racing<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> teammate Kyle Busch with a strong run in Turns Three and Four on the final lap of Saturday\u2019s NASCAR Xfinity Series LS Tractor 200 to take the lead away from the series record-holder for career victories. After the race, he told reporters that it was too bad Busch didn\u2019t put a bounty on himself for Xfinity races. Harrison Burton also passed Busch for second place, relegating Rowdy to a third place finish. Justin Allgaier won both Stage 1 and 2; and pit stop woes caused him to lose the lead early in the final stage. <\/span><\/p>\n
