Brendan Gaughan, who also reaped the benefits of the caution with about 50 to go, finished second.
Just before the rains fell, Gaughan had actually took the lead away from Bliss for a total of four laps. But Bliss came back, recaptured the lead with 33 laps to go and a lap later, the rains came.
That enabled Busch to stretch his lead over Edwards in the standings to 73 points.
The victory was the second of Bliss’ Nationwide career. His other victory also came at Lowe’s, that in 2004.
Gaughan, a rookie, had his best career finish in the series.
