Where the heck did Ryan Newman come from?
On a restart in the middle of the fourth segment of Saturday night's Sprint All-Star Race, Newman dashed to the outside in turns one and two like his car suddenly got a boost of nitrous oxide and made a pair of three-wide passes before he had even gotten to the backstretch.
He wasn't done there. Show More Summary

Matt Crafton won his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. So did Kyle Busch. The two enter Friday night’s North Carolina Education Lottery 200 with the same – albeit slightly different – agendas. Each wants a victory. Crafton, however, might be willing to sacrifice the trophy in exchange for maintaining or adding to his [...]

Kyle Busch's Toyota NASCAR racer will wear Snickers bar livery when it runs in the All-Star race this weekend. No, his crew didn't dip the car in chocolate and peanuts, although that sounds delicious. Read more...
Hard-charging Kyle Busch and the NASCAR All-Star Race – a flat-out, give-no-quarter affair – should fit hand in glove. Not so far. Busch not only has failed to win, he’s been down for the count more often than he’s taken the checkered flag. Busch has failed to finish four of seven all-star appearances, three times [...]
Seven different organizations have won NASCAR Sprint All-Star Races since 1997. Amazingly enough, Joe Gibbs Racing is not among them. Over the years, JGR has come close, just not close enough. Kyle Busch finished second in 2011 and fourth a year ago. Denny Hamlin posted fourths in 2009-10 but was 20th in 2012 after starting [...]
So Darlington is starting to weather in, meaning that it’s gotten its hunger back and is now chomping on tires again. Though Kyle Busch drove most of the race like it didn’t matter, tire wear is a good thing and did make for some strategic decisions near the race’s end. Show More Summary

With 33 laps to go in Saturday night's Southern 500, Kasey Kahne was racing for the lead with Kyle Busch when he hit the wall in turns one and two after Busch entered the corner to his inside. To that point, Busch had driven away from everyone who dare crept close to his bumper, but Kahne took the lead off a restart just two laps earlier. Show More Summary
Kyle Busch appeared to be headed for another weekend sweep after winning the Nationwide race at Darlington on Friday night. However, a funny thing happened as they were bringing out the dustpan.

Matt Kenseth came on late to win the 2013 Bojangles Southern 500. He overcame teammate Kyle Busch with just 12 laps to go to grab the win. The race was clean up until the 300th lap, but anyone who made comments about the lack of caution flags likely jinxed the race. Show More Summary
