After winning three straight races Kyle Busch’s reign came to end Sunday at Pocono. Teammate Matt Kenseth won the race on the last lap when everyone else ran out of gas.

In Kenseth’s ear throughout the race was his spotter, Chris Osborne.

Before Osborne was Kenseth’s eyes in the sky, he spotted for Team Penske in the Sprint Cup Series. He guided Kurt Busch, Justin Allgaier (in the then Nationwide Series), and he also spotted for AJ Allmendinger.

Since 2013, when Kenseth made the move to Joe Gibbs Racing, Osborne has been atop the spotter stand for the No. 20 team. The duo has nine wins together since pairing up.

The weekend of Pocono, Osborne had double wins, spotting for both Kenseth and the No. 51 of Kyle Busch in the Camping World Truck Series.

Osborne celebrated his double Pocono wins on Twitter.

What an Awesome weekend @poconoraceway!! A Win w/@KyleBusch on Sat in the 51 Truck and again on Sunday w/@mattkenseth & #Team20!! 👉🏾🏁🏆 X2

This marks the second win for the No.20 team this season. They won back in April at Bristol. 

While he’s not spotting for Kenseth, you can hear Osborne on the radio for Daniel Suarez in the Xfinity Series.

Osborne couldn't wait to thank fans and everyone for all the congrats tweets.

Thanks for all the Congrats on the #Team20 Win today!! Much Appreciated!! 🏁🏆👍🏽
