AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) Kyle Busch made it 3 for 3 in the Xfinity Series this season, cruising to another victory at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday.

A week after leading all but one lap at Las Vegas, Busch led 175 of 200 laps on the mile oval to win for the 79th time in the second-tier series.

Busch also posted a dominating win at Atlanta. He didn't race in the opener at Daytona.

Busch and teammate Erik Jones raced side-by-side for several laps before their green-flag pitstops with 24 laps left. Busch beat Jones to the line and built as much as a 3-second edge.

When Brad Keselowski finally pitted with 13 laps left, Busch took the lead for good

Jones finished second, 2.3 seconds back. Daniel Suarez was third, giving Joe Gibbs Racing a top-three sweep for the second straight week.
