Jamie McMurray's first win of the season is making Kyle Busch wait for another try at Nationwide Series history.
McMurray held off Busch to win the Great Clips 300 Nationwide Series race Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Busch, trying to become the first driver in the 28-year history of the Nationwide Series to win 11 races in a season, fell short in his late efforts to catch McMurray.
Busch led the most laps in the race but finished second, ahead of Carl Edwards and less than a second behind McMurray.
