Nationwide Power: Week 17
June 29, 2009 8:05am CDT
After coming up on the short end of two late-race battles with Joey Logano this season, Kyle Busch wasn't about to let it happen for a third time. Busch drove past his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate with 36 laps to go and hung on to win his fifth Nationwide Series race of the season and first at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. It was a reversal of fortune for Busch, who had led the most laps in eight straight races but won only twice in that span entering the event. This time, he was the driver that dialed in his car at the right time while Logano was left with the disappointment of coming up empty despite leading 108 of the 200 laps. With the victory, Busch became the 23rd different winner at the track in 23 races.To continue reading, sign up for Owner's Edge below...
