Love him or hate him, you have to give Kyle Busch credit for being one of the best drivers there is. Tonight he won his third straight Nationwide Series race at Bristol giving him 50 all time wins in the Nationwide Series, the most of any driver and you can gurantee that win number 50 won't be his last win either. Kyle will make a hole where there isn't one, save the car when it shouldn't be possible to save and get a jump on the restart that most drivers can't do. You have to respect his driving skills whether or not you like his attitude or not.
After leading the majority of the race, it came down to a battle between Kyle and his teammate Joey Logano. They were side by side for the last 4 laps and coming out of turn 4 on the last lap they were still side by side, Kyle got the edge over Joey on the front stretch and won by .019 seconds, the closest NNS finish ever in history. Joey raced Kyle clean and hard which made for an absolutely exciting last few laps. Bristol unofficially needs to be named "Kyle's House", he has won there in the Cup Series five times in row (hopefully 6 tomorrow) and three times in a row in the NNS. Kyle has Bristol figured out and I don't see him forgetting how to win there anytime soon.
Want to give credit to Kyle's teammates in the Nationwide Series, Joey Logano and Brian Scott. Not only did Joey not wreck Kyle for the win but he swallowed his pride and went to VL to congratulate Kyle on his 50th win as did Brian Scott. Not every teammate would go and do that so good for them going to congratualte him.
