Erik Jones wins XFINITY race on sweet late-race move at Bristol

Published Apr. 16, 2016 3:26 p.m. ET

Larson led a race-high 94 of 200 laps thanks to a series of daring moves between cars on the tight half-mile track that kept Busch at bay during the final third. Then came the final caution that left a short sprint on the restart, when Jones' No. 20 Toyota got past Busch on the outside before he eventually cleared Larson, who finished third.

Jones then withstood a last charge from Busch to win the race after starting on the pole. He led 62 laps and collected a $100,000 bonus with the victory that also denied Busch's bid for a third consecutive weekend sweep of NASCAR events.

Busch, the defending Sprint Cup Series champion, led 43 laps after starting fifth.

Austin Dillon ended up fourth and Justin Allgaier rounded out the top five.
