Kurt Busch picked up the win in Monday’s Axalta 400, a race delayed by Sunday’s rain, at Pocono Raceway.

The “We Paint Winners” NASCAR Sprint Cup race was washed out due to heavy rains, but the weather was perfect Monday afternoon at the “Tricky Triangle.”

Busch got his first win of the season in the caution-filled race, which featured 10 yellow flags for a total of 40 laps. It is his third total victory at Pocono, and he did it with a backup crew chief as Tony Gibson was serving a one-race suspension.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top three.

The race had 14 lead changes with 10 different leaders. Busch led for 32 laps. Rookie Chase Elliott led for a race-best 51 laps and finished fourth.
