FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 3, 2009) – Kyle Busch has been building a pillar of success in the NASCAR Nationwide Series since his debut in 2004.

For some NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, racing on Sunday just isn’t enough. It takes two races in one event weekend to satisfy the need for high-speed, adrenaline-rushing auto racing. Two wins in the same event weekend is an amazing accomplishment at any track, but especially at Texas Motor Speedway where no driver has ever conquered the feat.
