Kyle Busch turned in a dominating performance - again - and cruised to a convincing victory in Friday's Nascar Nationwide Series race. In claiming his ninth win of the season, Busch led the final thirty-one laps and beat Jeff Burton to the checkered flag by six tenths of a second. Busch led a race-high 137 laps out of two hundred. Pole-sitter Jamie McMurray finished ninth. Series leader Clint Bowyer entered the race 196 points ahead of Carl Edwards in the championship standings and that's exactly where he stands exiting Charlotte with four races remaining. Bowyer finished fourth on Saturday, one spot ahead of Edwards - who matched Bowyer's race-day point total by receiving the five bonus points for leading a lap... which Bowyer failed to do.
