Historic hat-trick for Kyle Busch

Bristol will therefore remain the scene of the first resounding exploit of Kyle Busch, rising star of the Nascar. If he had already achieved doubles, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver dreamed of a hat-trick. So it's been done since this weekend. After winning last Wednesday, in Bristol, in the Camping World Truck Series, the American did it again on the same track on Friday in the Nationwide Series and Saturday in the Sprint Cup Series.

While he notably failed in this mission in Texas last November, Kyle Busch managed to win three races in different categories, on the same ring, during the same race weekend. “ I love Bristol, I love winning, I wouldn't have preferred it to happen anywhere else but here! », Confided Kyle Busch, quoted by Rue Frontenac.

Pourtant parti 19e de la course de Sprint Car Series, le pilote de la Toyota Camry n°18 a su remonter le peloton petit à petit et prendre la tête au tiers de la course. Une bonne stratégie pneumatique lui a permis de garder Jamie McMurray derrière lui et de s?imposer.

« There was no way I was going to let him beat me just because he had better tires, Busch said. I didn't want to struggle trying to keep him behind while sliding everywhere. I came in, the guys made an excellent stop which allowed me to get out in front of Jamie and everything went well. »

It was “enough” for Kyle Busch to pick up David Reutimann, in order to triumph on this circuit for the third time in four days. Now almost assured of qualification for the Chase, the young Busch can also dream of a title.
