Saturday, Kyle Busch was leading the race at Talladega only to get passed on the final lap of a Green- White- Checkered finish. Sunday, the tables were turned. Busch was in second on the final lap after a restart hoping to execute the same kind of slingshot move that burned him the night before. But it wasn’t to be and Busch finished second for the second day in a row.
No, Sunday belonged to Brad Keselowski, who held off Busch to take the checkered flag by three-tenths
Aaron’s 312
by Ronald A. Rowe May 8th, 2012 | NASCAR, Nationwide Series
The Aaron’s 312 was a little longer than expected. For only the third time since the rule change, a Nationwide Series race was settled on the second Green- White- Checkered restart. The fans certainly didn’t seem to mind getting a little extra racing for their money as the final laps provided the most intense action of the day.
It’s good to have teammates, but in the end NASCAR racing is an individual sport. So it wasn’t surprising to see Joey Logano and Kyle Busch helping one another and then competing with each other, both

The ending of Friday night’s Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway was like something that a Hollywood studio might think up.

It was the start of a very good weekend for the Busch Brothers and a poor one for Nationwide drivers who were swept out of the first three spots in the race by Busch, Hamlin, and fellow Sprint Cup driver

Capital City 400
by Ronald A. Rowe May 1st, 2012 | NASCAR, Sprint Cup Series
You know it was an odd NASCAR race when the guys who finished third and tenth both think they were robbed of the victory. The named- at- the- last- minute Capital City 400 Presented By Virginia Is For Lovers (sigh) was as unusual as its name. All the strangeness certainly suited Kyle Busch just fine as he racked up his first Sprint Cup victory of the season.
Tony Stewart thought that he had the race wrapped up with 13 laps left to go, but a caution for debris
