Kyle Busch wins Busch race at Bristol
March 25, 2006Kyle Busch benefited from Greg Biffle's late tire problem to take the lead with 12 laps to go and held on to win the Busch Series race on a cold, snowy Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. Biffle led 28 of the final 40 laps and was headed to the win when the wheel became loose on his Ford and he had to relinquish the lead to pit. As he ducked off the track, Busch slid past him and braced himself for a challenge from Kevin Harvick.

That's weird for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who usually can't do anything without attracting a flock of followers who hang on his every move - both on and off the track. "It's considerably more low key that it has been in the past," he said. "The first four years in the series was pretty wide open.
