UPDATE: Kyle Busch stands a victory away from making NASCAR history as the first driver to win a race in all three of the NASCAR’s national series in successive starts. Busch already is a member of a select group of drivers who have won in all three national series in the same season, posting a victory each year from 2005-08. Terry Labonte (1995) and Kevin Harvick (2003) also pulled off that triple.(NASCAR PR)(7-16-2008)
