Another exciting weekend of NASCAR racing in Richmond, culminating with the Crown Royal 400 Sprint Cup race on Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway. Kyle Busch really seems to enjoy the short track on Laburnum, where he outdueled Dale Ernhardt, Jr to win his 4th straight spring race in Richmond, breaking a record streak once held by the legendary Richard Petty.
It was like the Busch family went on a weekend outing in Richmond as Kyle’s brother, Kurt Busch, won Friday night’s Nationwide series race, and defending NASCAR champion Tony Stewart won Denny Hamlin’s Short Track SDhowdown race on Thursday. Hamlin remains third in the points standings behind leader Greg Biffle, who finished 18th, and Ernhardt, who finished 2nd.
