Kyle Busch added a few more records to his impressive resume Saturday.
He became the NASCAR Nationwide Series’ all-time lap leader in winning the New England 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and he also broke veteran Mark Martin’s laps-led mark in 45 fewer races than it took Martin to set the record of 8,083 laps.
There had been 23 different winners in as many Nationwide races at New Hampshire before Busch snapped the streak.
Points leader Brad Keselowski finished second with Carl Edwards, third, Joey Logano fourth and Trevor Bayne fifth.
“We got up front on one of those long runs and pulled away,” Busch said. “I was able to keep it up in front where track position counts the most and drive away from those guys a little bit.
Keselowski, whose point lead swelled to 247, was no match for Busch in the twilight laps of the race. “We were off a little at the start of the race, and we made progress, but we didn’t have enough,” Keselowski said.
