Kyle Busch Wins Ninth Nationwide Race of Season, Closes in on Two Records
Saturday, July 31st, 2010fanhouse.com
NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Kyle Busch raced to his sixth victory in his last seven Nationwide starts and ninth of the season Saturday night, leading 209 of 250 laps in a dominating run at Iowa Speedway.
Busch moved a victory away from the series season victory record of 10 he shares with Sam Ard. Busch, a 10-time winner in 2008, is second in series history with 39 victories-nine behind Mark Martin’s record.
Kevin Harvick was second, followed by Jason Leffler and Brad Keselowski in front of a standing-room only crowd of roughly 55,000.
Trevor Bayne, who became the first Nationwide driver in 18 years to capture three consecutive poles earlier Saturday, finished fifth.
Harvick took the lead from Busch during a late pit stop by taking just two tires while Busch grabbed four. But Busch had the strongest car of the night, and he proved it by zipping past Harvick on the outside with 25 laps to go on the 0.875-mile oval.
For the second week in a row, Busch won without running a single practice lap.

Jack Roush Doing ‘A Bit Better,’ Drivers Expect Him Back Soon

As Jack Roush continued to recover at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., from facial injuries he received after crash-landing his jet at Oshkosh, Wis., Tuesday, his Roush Fenway drivers said they doubt he’ll miss many races.
“I guess he’s doing a little bit better today” said Matt Kenseth Friday at Pocono Raceway. “I haven’t really talked to anybody there directly, but it seems like he’s doing a little bit better, so we’ll see him back at the track soon.”
Said Greg Biffle, “We’re thankful that he’s kind of out of the woods now. We know that he’s got some surgeries to probably go through and it’s gonna be a little bit of a road to recovery, but we know he’s gonna be all right and back at it.”
Roush was transferred to the Mayo Clinic Wednesday after undergoing surgery Tuesday night at a Neenah, Wisc., hospital.
Roush was able to walk out of the crumpled jet after crashing upon landing, but his face was bloodied from significant facial injuries. The NASCAR owner was attempting to land his Premier Beechcraft jet at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh. An aviation buff, Roush was flying in to attend the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture show.
“That’s the greatest thing in the world to see him walk out of that airplane,” said Carl Edwards. “It’s like they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, so we’re just glad he’s okay.”
Said Kyle Busch, “A couple of people this week were mentioning that he needs to go to Vegas and try his luck there because he has some pretty good luck.”
Edwards said the airfield Roush was landing at is quite cramped at the time of the show.
“I have flown into Oshkosh a couple of times in my jet and it’s amazing. They get more planes in and out of there than anywhere I’ve ever seen, so it’s very tight quarters and there are a lot of planes stacked up one behind the other, all at varying speeds, so it’s a high-pressure situation for the guys controlling from the ground and for the pilots,” Edwards said.
Asked what it was like not seeing Jack at the track Friday, Edwards laughed as he said, “I won’t miss Jack yelling at me telling me what to do this weekend. I think he’ll be back real soon. I don’t see him missing too much time at the race track.”
