1. Busch-whacked
Kyle Busch started last week by winning Bristol (Monday) and making up with Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Tuesday), and ended by winning Richmond (Saturday). The end result? More cheers than jeers Saturday for the Candyman, who went into the grandstands and high-fived a few fans.
2. For the record
Busch now has 46 Cup Series wins and is tied for 15th all-time with Buck Baker. At almost 33 years old, he is the fifth-youngest driver to reach 46 wins. Busch has 187 NASCAR national series wins (Cup, Xfinity, trucks) and is chasing Richard Pettys 200-win mark.
3. Racin at Richmond
Clint Bowyer explains the closing laps of Richmond racing: Its just beating and banging and everybody divebombing on the bottom. Those cars that are a lap down, youre lapping, and all of a sudden sticking it in three-wide with nothing to lose at the end.
