CONCORD, N.C. _ Kyle Busch walked off Charlotte Motor Speedway as fast as he drove it.
Just as Chase Elliott had nearly won Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 on the same track, Busch was less than a second away from topping Elliott, the winner of NASCAR's return Truck race Tuesday evening.
As Rowdy walked away, Elliott took a bow. The No. 24 driver won more than money Tuesday night with a $100,000 bounty on the line. There was also pride on the line for beating Busch, who accidentally wrecked him out of a top finish last week at Darlington; Busch had won seven consecutive Truck races prior to Tuesday.
The bounty ($50,000 paid Kevin Harvick, $50,000 by Gander Outdoors CEO Marcus Lemonis) will be paid by making a donation in Elliott's name to the charity of his choice.
