KANSAS CITY, Kansas (Ticker) - Kyle Busch battled his way from the back of the pack after a pit-road violation to win a thrilling NASCAR Busch Yellow Transportation 300 at Kansas Speedway on Saturday, holding off Matt Kenseth's Ford by just .085 seconds.

But it was a penalty Saturday night that may have far-reaching implications for his crew chief and Busch's chances in the Nextel Cup "Chase for the Championship."

Hours after the race had ended, NASCAR officials announced they had confiscated the intake manifold on Busch's Chevrolet because it "did not meet NASCAR specifications."

Further penalties will be announced next week but it could adversely affect Busch's crew chief, Alan Gustafson, who is also the crew chief for Busch's Nextel Cup Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports.

Because an intake manifold violation is considered a major offense by NASCAR, Gustafson could be looking at a lengthy suspension, which would ban him from all NASCAR track activities in any series.
