This is really getting to be the same old song and dance on the Nationwide series. It was more of the same on Friday night at Darlington Raceway. Kyle Busch started first again. Kyle Busch finished first again. Kyle Busch led most of the laps in between again.
Busch is rampaging through the Nationwide series this year, dominating so completely as to leave little sport. Busch has won five out of eight races thus far in the young 2013 NASCAR season. Win #8 was at least as dominating as any of the previous seven. The final margin of victory was
Kenseth Wins the Bojangles Southern 500
by Ronald A. Rowe May 13th, 2013 | Sprint Cup Series
Three quarters of the Bojangles Southern 500 belonged to the Busch Brothers. Kurt took the lead early on and ran in front of the pack for just under a quarter of the five hundred mile race. Then little brother Kyle took over. He led well over half the laps in the race and looked to be well on his way to a weekend sweep until his JGR teammate Matt Kenseth blew past him with just 13 laps left to go. The younger Busch’s bid for weekend perfection was undone by a cut tire with 20 miles to go.

Sprint Cup Bullies Overpower the Toyotacare 250
by Ronald A. Rowe May 1st, 2013 | Nationwide Series
NASCAR’s recent run of Pole-to-Checkered wins extended into the Nationwide series this weekend. Brad Keselowski started first and finished first at the Toyotacare 250. Friday night was all about the Sprint guys with a dramatic finish that pitted Keselowski against a surging Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch. Keselowski has won a lot of races in his career. He won the Sprint Cup Championship last year, for goodness’ sake. But this Nationwide win marks several firsts for Keselowski. It was his first win of the season and his first in a Ford.

Camping World Truck Series SFP 250
by Ronald A. Rowe April 24th, 2013 | Camping World Series
With no Nationwide race this weekend, the eyes of the racing world were fixed squarely on the SFP 250 on Saturday. The race, just the fourth of the season for the Camping World Truck Series, was a wild one. The action came to a screeching halt on lap 120 when Todd Bodine hit the wall -- twice. First a little love tap from Brennan Newberry slammed him into the wall, then a follow up collision with Bryan Silas rocketed Bodine’s car back into the outer wall.
After a quick cleanup, the race resumed. From that point on it was all

Kyle Busch Wins Again
by Ronald A. Rowe April 17th, 2013 | Nationwide Series
And the winner is... Kyle Busch. For the fourth time in six Nationwide races this season, Busch took the checkered flag. Four times in six races. That is an astonishing 75% success rate for a driver who won exactly no races a year ago. Busch is so dominant on the Nationwide circuit right now that maybe we should go back to the old name and call this the Busch Series.
