Kyle Busch Dominates The Day In Fontana California

Kyle Busch made history on Saturday by becoming the first man in NASCAR history to win two touring series races in one day. He not only won both the truck race and the Nationwide Series race he did it by dominating both races at Fontana.  The twenty three year old driver led a total of two hundred thirty eight laps on the two mile track Saturday. He has a chance to make more history Sunday by winning the Sprint cup race.

During the 2008 racing season he won more races in the three top series than anyone ever had. With two wins today he is off to another blistering start of the 2009 season. This was quite a change from last weekend where he finished a disappointing forty first in the Daytona 500 after being involved in a crash triggered by Bryan Vickers blocking Dale Earnhardt Jr. Next week the series moves on to Las Vegas, the Busch brothers’ home town.

Kevin Harvick, a Bakersfield California driver driving a car owned by his own team finished a strong second. He was trying for his first win at what he considers his home track. He also was attempting to win his first Nationwide Series race in a car owned by he and his wife. In years past he has driven cars owned by his Sprint Cup owner Richard Childress Racing of North Carolina.

The Fontana speedway is located in southern California. Fontana has grown from a farming community to one of the many towns that have become part of the greater Los Angeles area, with many residents commuting to Los Angeles daily.

Stay tuned for more racing action to come tomorrow from California.
