BUSCH

• Busch has record Nationwide day with N.H. win

  Loudon, NH (Sports Network) - Kyle Busch put on a dominating performance in Saturday's New England 200 to become the first repeat Nationwide race winner at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and set a new record for most career laps led in NASCAR's second-tier series.

  Busch, who also won at New Hampshire one year ago, led 126 of 200 laps, but had to hold off a hard-charging Brad Keselowski in the closing laps for his sixth win of the season and the 36th of his Nationwide career, which placed him in a tie with Kevin Harvick for second on the series' all-time race winners list. Mark Martin holds the record with 48 wins.

  There had been 23 different winners in as many Nationwide races at New Hampshire before Busch snapped the streak. Busch has now led 8,117 laps in 186 career Nationwide starts.

  Keselowski, the pole sitter and current points leader, finished second, while Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and series regular Trevor Bayne completed the top- five. Keselowski's point lead stretched to 247 over Edwards.

  Danica Patrick, in her fourth Nationwide start, finished 30th. Patrick fell five laps behind after she was involved in an accident with Morgan Shepherd during the opening laps.
