Reed Sorenson earned his first victory in two years, avoiding the pitfalls of a cautioned-filled Busch Gateway 250 on Saturday night.

Sorenson, who hadn’t led any part of a race this season before Saturday, passed David Reutimann on Lap 159 moments after the eighth yellow flag was lifted. He survived the race’s ninth and final caution with a strong restart to distance himself from Reutimann, who eventually finished third.

Scott Wimmer earned his first pole position in 136 races earlier in the day and led the first 53 laps before a right flat tire forced him into the pits. He stayed near the front of the pack most of the race and finished second. Jason Leffler and David Ragan rounded out the top five.
