By: Pete Pistone - @PPistone

 Kyle Busch returned to the NASCAR XFINITY Series in style on Saturday winning the Great Clips 250 Benefiting Paralyzed Veterans of America at Michigan International Speedway.

“Just some good hard racing there at the end,” Busch said. “It got crazy there but glad we were able to stay ahead and pull it off. 

"I can’t thank everyone enough for their support and thoughts during this road back here. Joe Gibbs Racing and everyone with the team has just been so supportive through this whole situation and of course having a great car like we did today is all about the team effort.” 

Busch drove his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to his 71st career series win. He led three times for 27 laps including the final four when he got by Elliott. 

"This is only a preliminary for what we've got to do on Sundays, but this is a start,” Busch said of his quest to make the Chase in the Sprint Cup Series. 

Elliott, Kyle Larson, Chris Buescher and Elliott Sadler rounded out the top five. 

“He’s obviously really good at what he does and I don’t have an excuse for you. He outran me,” Elliott said. 

Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano finished sixth and seventh after the two made contact battling for position in the closing laps. 

“We were racing for a win here and it just seems like he drove in there pretty hard trying to slide me,” Logano said. “I drove up in there too and he got loose underneath me and got into my left rear and up we both went into the race track. It is unfortunate.” 

Harvick did not see the incident as anything but racing for position.
