AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Kyle Busch spun his wheels at the start/finish line for a few extra rotations, filling the track and grandstand with a fog of white smoke. After waiting so long to win on the Nationwide Series again, it felt like the first time and he was going to enjoy it. Overcoming a mid-race gaffe on pit road with a dominating performance, Busch led 142 laps at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday to end a 24-race Nationwide winless streak. "It was a phenomenal day for us to get back to Victory Lane, feel the taste of it again," said Busch, whose last Nationwide win was Sept. 9, 2011 at Richmond. "I was almost nervous, feeling like it was my first win even though it was, I think, No. 52 in the series. Its nice to be back." Busch had a rough 2012 by his own high standards, finishing 13th in the Sprint Cup standings with just one victory despite leading the second-most laps. He also failed to win in 22 Nationwide races for his own team and came up empty in three trucks races. Busch signed a deal to stay with Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the No. 18 Sprint Cup car this season and agreed to race for the team on the Nationwide circuit. He bounced back from a rough start at Daytona in the season opener by earning the pole at Phoenix and was clearly the fastest car all day during the 200-lap race around the mile oval. Despite a penalty for entering pit road too fast, Busch eclipsed 11,000 career laps during the race and picked up his 52nd Nationwide victory, extending his own record. Hes won seven times at Phoenix, including five in the Nationwide Series. It also was Toyotas 75th Nationwide victory, 41 of those coming with Busch at the wheel. "Hes just gifted behind the wheel, so were excited about that," JGR president J.D. Gibbs said. "Cup, Nationwide, truck, whatever he races, hes got a gift." Brad Keselowski finished second and Justin Allgaier overcame body damage on his car from an early wreck to finish third. Trevor Bayne finished fourth, followed by Elliott Sadler. Keselowski, Matt Kenseth and Brian Vickers each led laps, but none of them had a shot at keeping up with Busch. "It was pretty phenomenal how fast his car was and what he was able to do with it," Keselowski said of Busch. The Nationwide Series got off to an awful start at Daytona last week, when Tony Stewarts season-opening win was marred by a 12-car crash on the final lap that left at least two dozen fans injured. The wreck happened as the cars came around for the checkered flag and leader Regan Smith tried to block Keselowski. That triggered a chain reaction that piled up cars and sent rookie Kyle Larsons car airborne into the fence, shearing it into pieces that flew into the grandstand. Two injured fans remain in the hospital. The Phoenix race had a crash involving six cars on the fourth lap and 38 laps were under caution during the race on the slick track, but no one was injured. "It was fun out there, slipping and sliding all over the place," Allgaier said. Busch led the first 40 laps, but was sent to the back of the pack -- to 23rd -- for entering pit road too fast during a caution. He also overshot his pit stall, thinking it was the last one instead of the one before, but didnt seem bothered once he got back on the track. "Oh, well, lets make a race of it," he said through the radio. "Lets go get it." He did, ripping through the field, up to fifth within a few of laps off the restart, past Kenseth for the lead not long after that. Busch finished 32nd in Daytona due to engine trouble after leading 22 laps, but had no problems down the stretch in the desert. He dropped to fifth with about 50 laps left when he went into the pits, but was quickly back out front. He wasnt challenged again, finishing nearly 2 seconds ahead of Keselowski at the checkered flag before his smoky celebration that took a while to get going. "I was a little rusty at the start and I needed help on it, said let me rethink," Busch said. "I went over and got my checkered flag, and it all looked good at the end." Five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who won his second Daytona 500 last week, finished 12th in his first Nationwide race since 2011. jerseys from china .

LANDOVER, Md. -- An already difficult season for the Washington Redskins is getting worse: Left tackle Trent Williams and tight end Fred Davis are expected to be suspended by the NFL for the last four games for violating the leagues substance abuse policy, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The people spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because no official announcement had been made. Williams, the No. 4 overall draft pick in 2010, and Davis, a second-round choice in 2008, are both starters for the Redskins, who fell to 4-8 with a 34-19 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday. Davis had six catches for 99 yards, both game highs. Asked after the game about the pending suspensions, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said: "Well, No. 1, Ive received no information about it, so I cant comment on that at this time. But I will comment in the next day or two, depending on exactly what has happened." Neither Williams nor Davis was in the locker room when reporters were allowed to enter. Their lockers were cleaned out by team employees. SI.com first reported Sunday that Davis and Williams would be punished. Citing an unidentified source, the website also said the players hadnt received written notice from the NFL about their suspensions, so were able to play Sunday. A league spokesman declined to discuss the matter. But one of the people who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity said Williams and Davis were among 11 players who failed drug tests during a lockoout-related grace period negotiated between the NFL and the players union.dddddddddddd The other nine players cases were dismissed because they were first-time offenders; Davis and Williams each has tested positive more than once, the person told the AP. Their Redskins teammates were hesitant to comment because nothing official has come out. "Its tough to play without those guys," cornerback DeAngelo Hall said, emphasizing that he wasnt aware whether reports about Williams and Davis were true. "But somehow, some way, we will. ... Obviously were better with those guys." Davis leads the Redskins with 59 catches for 796 yards, taking over as Washingtons top tight end even before past Pro Bowl pick Chris Cooley was lost for the season with a left knee injury. Williams is generally considered the top offensive lineman on the team, which has lost seven of its last eight games after opening the season 3-1. The resolution of the punishments was delayed in part by the case of Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson, which also is connected to the union-negotiated grace period. Benson originally was expected to get a three-game suspension for off-field conduct, but it wound up as two games based on the grace period for discipline. Bensons representative said the player shouldnt have received any punishment and filed an unfair labour practices complaint against the union, a complaint that was dismissed last week. Benson wound up with a one-game suspension. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
