Kyle Busch became the first driver in history to sweep a weekend in all three of NASCAR's top three divisions when he won Saturday's Sprint Cup Series IRWIN Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Busch followed his win in Wednesday night's Camping World Truck Series race and Friday's Nationwide Series event with a checkered flag in the 500-lap Sprint Cup grind at the half-mile track.
In Lucky Dog Racing's Cup Series, it seemed to take forever for Marty Smith to finally win his first Cup race but he finally did it in the final race last season. Now that he knows how to win it didn't take him nearly as long to get his 2nd. Marty wins the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway after scoring a total of 295 points and winning by just 5 points over 2nd place

Boris Said was inches ahead of Max Papis at the finish line when he won Sunday's wild NASCAR Nationwide Series NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.
The incredible finish capped a thrilling final two laps of Sunday's race around the twisting Canadian road circuit. A multi-car crash forced officials to red flag the race and set up a two lap green-white-checkered finish dash.
In Lucky Dog Racing's Nationwide Series, Five points was all Terry Howell needed to get win #5 in the Nationwide series. After scoring 261 points Terry won the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for his first win of the season, 5th Nationwide win and 11th overall in Lucky Dog Racing.
