Ryan Newman took the lead after a late caution at Phoenix International Raceway and held off Jeff Gordon (FSY) in a two-lap shootout Saturday night to get his first victory since the 2008 Daytona 500, and first since joining Stewart’s new team last season.

Kyle Busch (FSY) was cruising to what would have given him a weekend sweep when a caution flag came out with three laps remaining. When the lead-lap cars pitted, Busch took four tires and came out eighth — behind six cars that took only two tires and Jimmie Johnson (FSY), who also took four and was seventh out of the pits.

“He’s so proud of me,” Newman said after breaking a 77-race Sprint Cup winless streak. “He told me he loved me and I told him I loved him back because it’s his name, I’m representing him and a lot of people behind us.”
