Busch, the points leader in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, will attempt a NASCAR first — racing in three national series, at three different tracks, in the same weekend.
His busy itinerary will take him to Texas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, Nashville Superspeedway for the NASCAR Nationwide Series race and Pocono Raceway for the NASCAR Sprint Cup event.
The next question — can he be the first to sweep all three races in the same weekend?
If Busch did win all three, he'd be the first to do so — period. It's never been done at the same track on a companion weekend, let alone three different tracks.
The driver to come the closest — Kyle Busch, himself. Last season, during the November Phoenix weekend, Busch won both the NASCAR Craftsman Truck race and the NASCAR Nationwide race, and finished eighth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race.
There's certainly a chance. Across the three series, Busch has run 33 races. He has been in first place at some point in the race during 28 of them (though he's led a lap in 26 of them)
Busch ranks in the top 10 in all key statistical categories in each series.
