KEY POINTS:
NEW YORK - Kurt Busch ended a 51-race winless streak, dominating from start to finish the NASCAR event at Long Pond, Pennsylvania at the weekend.
The Dodge driver had been without a victory since March 2006, but he clearly had the top car, leading 175 of the 200 laps at Pocono Raceway.
"I feel like a new-born kid again," Busch told reporters as he celebrated in the victory lane.
Chevrolets took the next five spots. Pole-winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second, followed by Denny Hamlin, points leader Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart.
Robby Gordon was not allowed to compete. He was suspended by NASCAR before the race for refusing to pull off the track as ordered in Montreal on Saturday.
