LOUDON, N.H.—The Magic Mile gave Kyle Busch a chance to show his mastery.
Busch started from the pole and dominated Saturday’s F.W. Webb 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a race in which only six Camping World Truck Series entries finished on the lead lap.
LOUDON, N.H. — Ron Silk pulled away from the field on a green-white-checkered finish to win the New Hampshire 100 Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and take back to the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour points lead.
Silk got a push from Todd Szegedy on the final restart to open some ground on the rest of the field and was unchallenged over the final two laps. Szegedy, who won the tour race at New Hampshire in July, finished second followed by Justin Bonsignore. Ted Christopher and Eric Beers completed the top five.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C., (Sept. 21, 2011) – A week ago while on a press junket in Chicago to promote the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, Tony Stewart proclaimed he’d be a “bumbling idiot” if he won this year’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. After all, the driver of the No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) hadn’t won a race in 2011 and squeaked his way into the Chase field with only three top-fives and 11 top-10s during the 26-race regular season.
By Stewart’s standards, it had been a miserable season. The two-time Sprint Cup champion (2002 and 2005) had his lowest totals of top-fives, top-10s and laps led prior to the final 10 races of the season than during any of his 12 previous years in Sprint Cup.

-Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Driver Hoping For More Success On Flat 1.058-Mile New Hampshire Track-
LOUDON, N.H. (Sept. 20, 2011) – Shell-Pennzoil Dodge driver Kurt Busch is really looking forward to this weekend’s SYLVANIA 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. With a career record that sports three wins, seven top-five finishes and 11 top 10s, it’s easy to understand the 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion’s fondness of the flat 1.058-mile track.
“With all the intermediate sized tracks we go to during the Chase, it’ll definitely be a nice change of scenery to get back to Loudon this weekend,” offered Busch, who heads into Sunday’s second of 10 Chase races ranked fourth in the series’ point standings. “The way that you have to slide a car around on a flat track like Loudon requires a loose setup and that’s the way I like to set my cars up. There’s always so much slipping and sliding and getting the forward bite we need is always so critical. Track position is really key and being up front on the restarts is so important. (more…)
