Kyle Busch, Driver Of The No. 5 Sta-green Winterizer Weed & Feed Llowe’s Chevrolet: (On The Chances Of Winning Again At His Sponsor’s Home Track. ) “Of course we can (LAUGHS). We ran OK in the spring at Lowe’s—we finished 12th and weren’t that great. But we have some momentum right now with the wins at Richmond (Va. ) and Kansas, so I would love to win one more in the No. 5 car at Lowe’s. It’s good to win where your sponsor has its name on the walls. It makes it that much sweeter. “

Busch: (On Expecting To Win. ) “You have to stay humble in this sport. It’s happened a few times this year with us, when we thought we had the race won and ended up getting beat on the last lap. I don’t want to roll into a race being arrogant that we have a race won. We go into races hoping to win and being confident that we can, but we also have to keep in our heads that something can happen at any time. “

Busch: (On Jason Keller Breaking Tommy Houston’s Record For Starts. ) “That’s impressive. Jason is a class act and a great talent. Accumulating 418 starts these days is huge, and it’s good for the series that has lately been dominated by Cup guys. I hope I see Jason this weekend so I can congratulate him. It’s good to see him back in the car on a regular basis. “
