INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Busch spent most of this weekend hearing about a historic sweep. On Sunday, he got to dust off the answers.Busch led a record 149 of 170 laps and beat teammate Matt Kenseth to the finish line by 2.126 seconds in the second overtime to win his second straight Brickyard 400. Coupled with his Xfinity Series success Saturday, Busch became the first NASCAR driver to win both poles and both races on the same weekend.Ive never had a dominant car like this, Busch said after winning for the fourth time this season. This is obviously a special day and a special car.The impressive feat overshadowed two other storylines:?Jeff Gordons comeback and Tony Stewarts farewell.Stewart finished 11th in his final race at Indianapolis, and Gordon was 13th. Gordon came out of retirement to replace?Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has battled concussion-like symptoms and has not yet been cleared by doctors to drive. Afterward, the two drivers who grew up in Indiana drove side-by-side around the 2.5-mile oval.I have gained so much respect and admiration for Tony, Gordon said. I love this guy. I have always respected his talent.But nobody was better than Busch this weekend. One year after he won both Indy races, he joined third-place finisher Jimmie Johnson as the only back-to-back winners of the Brickyard. Johnson won in 2008 and 2009.Busch surrendered the lead for 14 laps after his first pit stop, regained it when race leader Brad Keselowski pitted, then gave it up again for only five laps when he made his second pit stop. Everyone else spent the day chasing Busch.The No. 18 car was so strong that Roger Penskes drivers started with a strategy of trying to stretch their runs long enough to make one fewer pit stop. It didnt work. Logano finished seventh, and Keselowski wound up 17th. The only real challenge for Busch came with a series of late crashes that delayed his fourth trip to victory lane this season.The crashes began when Carl Edwards car wiggled in the first turn on a restart with seven laps to go. His car slid up the track, hit Keselowski and wound up involving Ryan Blaney, Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick. Nobody was seriously hurt, but the wreck brought a red flag out for almost eight minutes.On the ensuing restart, with three to go, Busch again pulled away, only to have a collision between Trevor Bayne and Clint Bowyer behind him to send the race into first overtime. It happened again when Jamie McMurray slid through the first turn and into the wall on the next restart, but Busch pulled away one more time for a historic win in a race that was actually 425 miles.I certainly didnt want one -- let alone five of them or however many there were, Busch said. We just wanted the race to go green til the end. We had a really good, long-run car til the end, so I felt like wed be able to hold off all those guys behind us, and then we had all those restarts.WHOS HOT: Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota. The team had three cars finish in the top five and heads to Pocono with back-to-back victories. Toyota, meanwhile, had three of its cars place in the top four.WHOS NOT: Hendrick Motorsports. Yes, Johnson ended a four-race streak with no top-threes, but nobody else finished in the top 10, and none of the four cars was even in contention for the lead.TOUGH WEEK: Greg Biffle wanted this weekend to be a tribute for his late father, who died Tuesday. Instead, Biffles day ended early, after he crashed on Lap 52.EMPTY SEATS: Its tough to fill roughly 250,000 seats. But the estimated crowd of about 50,000 left plenty of seats empty at a race that has seen attendance steadily dwindle the past eight years. The lone exception came in 2015, in what was supposed to be Gordons final ride.HE SAID IT: When Busch was asked whether his success the past two years at Indy would prompt him to follow the footsteps of his brother,?Kurt, and run in the Indianapolis 500, Kyle Busch responded, Well, I wont be following in his footsteps. Ill be?doing my own footsteps. It certainly may open up some avenues. Im not sure.UP NEXT: Pocono Raceway, July 31. Kenseth is the defending race winner. Nike Zoom Pas Cher . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. Nike Zoom Soldes . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. http://www.nikezoompascher.fr/ .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Nike Zoom Pas Cher Chine . Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. Nike Zoom Pas Cher En Ligne . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Different coach, same start.When the Anaheim Ducks began last season under coach Bruce Boudreau, they lost their first four games and gained only one point from an overtime defeat before earning their first win. Under Randy Carlyle, who guided the Ducks to the 2007 Stanley Cup and replaced Boudreau in June, the squad achieved the same results after five games.Carlyle and the Ducks hope to reverse that trend Sunday night in the teams home opener against the Vancouver Canucks at the Honda Center.The Canucks began the season with four consecutive victories for the first time since 1992 before losing Saturday night to the Los Angeles Kings in a shootout, 4-3. Only the Canucks and the Montreal Canadiens have yet to lose in regulation this season.Its a lot of fun to play hockey right now, Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom said. Were really buying into what we say were going to do, and it gets results.Vancouver achieved its success without placing one player among the NHLs top 20 in goals, assists, points or plus-minus rating. Nor did the Canucks rely on goalie Ryan Miller for four of the first five games. Miller, the former Vezina Trophy winner who played in the past two Winter Olympics for the United States, missed the last four games with unspecified tightness in his core muscles.But Miller will make his second start of the season Sunday night. The 36-year-old began his 15th season Oct. 15 with 25 saves in win against the Calgary Flames.Anaheim, meanwhile, seeks to avoid the kind of phenomenon that occcurred after last years 1-3-1 start.dddddddddddd Following a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild to end that four-game losing streak, the Ducks lost their next five and owned only two points after their first 10 games.Undisciplined play, disorganization on offense and the lack of forechecking defined Anaheims poor start this year. But the Ducks overcame all three problems in Thursday nights 3-2 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite taking eight penalties, Anaheim kept the Flyers from scoring on all but one of their seven power plays. Last year, the Ducks led the NHL by defusing 87.2 percent of opponents power plays.You got almost the same group in here thats killing penalties, guys that work hard and are hard on the puck, Anaheim winger Ryan Garbutt told the Orange County Register after scoring the winning goal Thrusday night. I think confidence carries over. I think our penalty kill is going to be a strength of ours for the season.Off the ice, the Ducks and defenseman Hampus Lindholm remain at an impasse in contract negotiations. Lindholm, a restricted free agent, seeks a contract between $5.5 and $5.8 million per season while Anaheim is offering between $5.1 and $5.4 million per year, report various sources.The Ducks have only $323,335 in room under the salary cap after signing forward Rickard Rakell, another restricted free agent, to a six-year contract extension Oct. 14.
