Busch Wins Rain-Shortened Race At Loudon

Sunday, June 29, 2008

Loudon, NH -- (Sports Network) - Kurt Busch's crew chief Pat Tryson kept the No.2 Penske Racing Dodge on the track when all the leaders pitted for fuel and it turned out to be the winning move as Busch captured Sunday afternoon's Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway when a rain storm came barreling through the Loudon area.

Busch was declared the winner when NASCAR officials called the race at lap 284.

The victory was Busch's first of the season and 18th of his Sprint Cup career.

"I wouldn't be up here if it weren't for the crew," said Busch.

Michael Waltrip, J.J. Yeley, Martin Truex Jr. and Elliott Sadler completed the top-five. Only Truex Jr. had been in the top-10 before the final round of stops.

The next race in the series is scheduled for Saturday night, July 5th at the Daytona International Speedway.
