Kyle Busch can’t be beat at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Busch won the Sprint Cup on Sunday to complete a weekend sweep at the Tennessee bullring. He also won the second-tier Nationwide Series race on Saturday, and has won the last five races at Bristol dating back to a three-race sweep last August.
Edwards finished second for the second time in four races this season, and Johnson finished third, also for the second time in 2011. Matt Kenseth was fourth and Paul Menard fifth.
Kurt Busch was frustrated with his seventh-place result at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday, but it was enough to move the elder of two Busch brothers into the Sprint Cup Series points lead for the first time in two years
After going into the Bristol race tied with Tony Stewart for the points lead, Busch left the Tennessee track with a one-point lead over Carl Edwards. Stewart fell to third, 12 points behind Busch.
“It just didn’t seem we had the mojo to compete,” Busch said, later adding that his team “couldn’t adjust on the car” in the second half of the race.
