Busy Bristol weekend for Kyle Busch

| | Comments (0) |

Kyle Busch won the March NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. It was his first win at the tiny track. It was the first win for any Cup driver in NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow.
But Busch isn't so sure he can repeat his March performance.
For one, the track has been resurfaced and will make for a very different race.
"It's completely different," said Busch, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "There is nothing about that track that is the same as it was before. I'm looking forward to it, though, because we don't really know what it's going to entail. I heard the late model races have been great so I'm interested to see. It should be fun."
Busch was in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol on Wednesday night. He is also entered in the Busch Series race Friday night. He wants to get as much track time on the new surface before the all-important Cup race on Saturday night.
"I think running all three races will help me get used to the new track surface," Busch said. "During testing, the track was kind of boring for me because the old Bristol had so many different characteristics. I'm sure it will still be an exciting race, but I think that it will take a few winters to get the track re-seasoned."
