Kyle Busch Wins Another Nationwide Race

Kyle Busch won his fourth consecutive Nationwide Series race at Texas on Saturday and he did it in style. It was another race where he showed the entire field he was the best of the best. Busch took the lead from polesitter Matt Kenseth on the 11th lap and went on to lead 179 laps of the 200 lap event. This was Busch's 8th win of the year in the Nationwide Series as he extended his points lead to 272. Second place Carl Edwards was able to finish 9th after starting in the rear of the pack after work was done on his car after qualifying for the impound race on Saturday. Now if Kyle finishes 15th or better at Phoenix, he takes the Championship trophy home. The Safety-Kleen backed Chevy driven by Casey Mears, who was subbing for Jeff Burton, drove a good race and finished second but never challenged the horsepower of the Busch Toyota. Safety-Kleen driver Jason Leffler again showed he is the best Nationwide drive in the field as he finished third, followed by Kenseth in fourth and Safety-Kleen's Brad Keselowski in fifth. Can someone please call the engravers and put the name of Kyle Busch on the Championship trophy? By the way, you can put up a banner in his pit area at the Phoenix race next Saturday afternoon where he should clinch the title.
