On November 9, the Busch Series traveled to Phoenix for the 11th meeting of the 2018 season. All that happened was another exciting, big-league performance. Holding off a bevy of contestants, lepage71 drove to a well-deserved win with the aid of patient techniques, leading 65 of 106 laps and besting Speedyman11 by 2.2 seconds. En route to finishing second, Speedyman11 led 32 laps of his own to burnish a serious battle for the trophy. In a fine effort, Bandit laid claim to the bronze medal, crossing the finish 23.6 seconds behind lepage71. No slowpokes, Jes Rathbun and Grumpy were also significant factors, locking down fourth and fifth to fill out the top-five. The victory, lepage71's fourth of the season, closes his gap behind leader Speedyman11 in the standings to 13 points. In its next event, the Busch Series heads to MP Pocono in what promises to be another shootout.
