Looks Like It Could Be Another Busch Bash in Victory Lane

LOUDON, N.H. (July 12, 2011) – Why would anyone ever bet against NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch? Even the most ardent fans of other drivers have to admit Busch is looking like a serious contender for unseating Jimmie Johnson’s historic run of Championship seasons.

Busch dominated the inaugural race at Kentucky Speedway this past weekend, winning the Quaker State 400 the old fashioned way: he got out front early and simply stayed there.
With Busch’s third victory of the season, the No.18 M&Ms Toyota now leads the pack. Busch sprinted to the Cup lead and it’s going to take some unexpected bad luck for that to change this weekend.
