BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Chris Buescher and Martin Truex Jr. battled at the FireKeepers Casino 400 but it was Buescher who took the lead and held off Truex for the victory Monday.

Denny Hamlin took third followed by Brad Keselowski in fourth and Kyle Larson in fifth.

Rounding out the top 10 were Daniel Suarez, Ross Chastain, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney and Erik Jones.

Several crashes Sunday took out Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, William Byron, Christopher Bell and Alex Bowman.
