Race recap: Kyle Busch’s NASCAR Nextel Cup victory at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday was one made of milestones. Probably most important is that Busch goes into the record book as winning the first-ever race for NASCAR’s newly engineered “Car of Tomorrow. ” Also of note was that this was the 200th NASCAR victory for owner Rick Hendrick (which includes wins in the Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck Series) and the 600th Cup victory for Chevrolet. With the win, Busch registered his fourth Nextel Cup career victory.
