No. 1 Kyle Busch
Kyle Busch is the new leader in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings, but he is heading to track that has not been kind to him in the past.
Darlington has produced only one top-10 finish in three races for Busch. He came in seventh in the race there in 2006. His other two races have produced finishes of 37th and 23rd. All three of his previous starts at Darlington were with Hendrick Motorsports.
After finishing second in a wild race at Richmond International Raceway, Busch took over the lead in the Cup Series standings.
"It's great to be back on top of the point standings," said Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. "We were there earlier this year and kind of fell back a little bit. We've had some great runs. We've had some strong runs. We've had some good cars. And so, fortunately we were able to capitalize on those most of this year and hopefully we can keep doing that throughout the year. With the new facility, the new race track and the new paving job (at Darlington), hopefully we can have a great run out there to keep our momentum going. It's been good and hopefully it keeps going that way."
