Ky. Busch's Crew wins Drive-Thru Challenge: Kyle Busch's over-the-wall crew had two reasons to celebrate when they left New Hampshire International Speedway Sunday. Not only did Busch win the NEXTEL Cup event, but his No. 5 Kellogg's pit crew also took top honors in the weekly Checkers®/Rally's® Double Drive-Thru Challenge. "The Kellogg's guys worked their tails off in New Hampshire," said Alan Gustafson, crew chief of the No. 5 team. "They had flawless pit stops and never lost focus all day long. It was one of the hottest days we've had on pit road and they just went out there and did their job. The No. 5 team deserves respect because they are a great pit crew. I'm proud of how hard they work and they deserve this reward." This is the third Checkers/Rally's Double Drive-Thru Challenge win of the season for Busch's team, which is now tied with Tony Stewart's crew for second place in the season-long competition. Jimmie Johnson's crew leads with four victories. "My guys did it for me in New Hampshire," said Busch. "They were on the money every stop. Alan (Gustafson) made great calls and I just can't say enough because it was a total team effort, right down to the guys who build the cars and motors back at Hendrick Motorsports." Busch's over-the-wall team, out of the Hendrick Motorsports stable, spent 133.356 seconds on pit road to claim the win. The group includes: Rick Pigeon (jackman), Jeremy "JD" Holcomb (front-tire carrier), DJ Richardson (front-tire changer), Jason Jones (rear-tire carrier), Josh Kirk (rear-tire changer), Brad Pickens (gasman), Jason Dalrymple (catch can), and Whit Satterwhite (eighth-man). The pit crew coach is Mark Mauldin. Busch's crew collected $10,500 for the win. Checkers/Rally's is the Official Burger and Drive-Thru Restaurant of NASCAR, more info at checkers.com.(DMF Communications PR

Ky. Busch wins first race of 2006: There was plenty to distract Kyle Busch during his victory in Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. There was Tony Stewart, the defending race winner and a primary threat to Busch, crashing out of the lead after colliding with the lapped car of pole-sitter Ryan Newman. There was Dale Earnhardt Jr. suffering a blown engine and finishing last. There was a bizarre accident between Michael Waltrip and Robby Gordon under caution that forced an eight-lap overtime with several drivers — Busch included — already testing the limits of their gas tanks. None of the plot twists in a wild race featuring 11 caution flags fazed the 21-year-old, who stuck to a new single-minded philosophy of worrying only about his No. 5 Chevrolet.
