Kyle Busch wins Nationwide race
CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Busch proved he’s still the man to beat on the Nationwide Series — particularly when it comes to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Busch raced to his 11th Nationwide victory of the year Friday night, giving him a season sweep on the 1½-mile track.
Busch edged Nationwide title contenders Austin Dillon and Sam Hornish Jr. to win for the eighth time in the series at his favorite track. Coupled with his five Truck Series wins at track, he broke the track victory record with 13.
“I feel like I’ve really taken to this place over the years,” Busch said. “I have it figured out in Camping Truck and Nationwide but I seem to have a little bit of a struggle on the Cup side. We’ll see if we can’t change that around on Saturday. I’d like to score my first Cup Series win here.”
Busch and wife Samantha donated the winnings from the race to the Pretty in Pink Foundation that provides financial assistance and support to underinsured and uninsured North Carolinians with breast cancer.
