FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Kyle Busch has a chance at another NASCAR trifecta.
While out of contention for the Sprint Cup championship, Busch gets to go for a weekend sweep at Texas after winning the Nationwide Series race Saturday.
“It would be real special, certainly at another venue. I think that this opportunity for that (Sunday) would be something special,” Busch said. “I would certainly cherish it as much as the first.”
The win Saturday was Busch’s 141st victory in NASCAR’s top three series and record-extending 70th in the Nationwide Series. He also was won 29 times in the Sprint Cup Series and his 42nd victory in the Camping World Truck Series came Friday night at the high-banked, 1 1/2-mile track.
He has 15 victories this season, seven each in Nationwide and Truck and one in Cup. He starts ninth Sunday in the Cup race at Texas.
