Kyle Busch continues to find victory lane and is moving closer to landing a spot in the Chase.

Busch's dominant comeback rolled on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway when he won for the second straight weekend and for the third time in the last four NASCAR Sprint Cup races.

He broke his right leg and left foot in a crash the day before the season-opening Daytona 500. He missed the first 11 races of the season, then returned in late May determined to earn a berth in NASCAR's championship playoffs.

Busch needs only to finish in the top 30 in the regular-season standings to earn a spot in the 16-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup field. He continued to gain ground on the 30th spot and should be able to crack the field at this rate.

Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
