Kyle Busch led a race off pit road late in Sunday's O'reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway and held on for his first win of the season. 

Busch's first win since Martinsville in October came after a caution flag reset the field with 24 laps remaining. Kevin Harvick closed within 0.40 seconds of Busch with under 10 laps remaining, but Busch was able to pull away for his 44th career win.

Harvick had issues on pit road for most of the afternoon but as he and Busch pitted with 44 laps to go, Harvick avoided an uncontrolled tire penalty many thought should have sent him to the rear of the field.
