Busch sweeps three Bristol races

? Kyle Busch made NASCAR history Saturday night with an unprecedented sweep of three national races in one week, completing the trifecta with a victory in the Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Busch hoisted a broom in Victory Lane, where he made his third visit in four days. He also won the Nationwide race Friday night and the Trucks race Wednesday night to become the first driver to complete the sweep in the 14 years since NASCAR has had three national series.

“I’ve been trying to do this since I got to NASCAR,” said Busch, who has tried for a three-race sweep five times in his career.

The Cup victory, his third of the season and third in the last four at Bristol, was drama-free after another round in his ongoing feud with Brad Keselowski.

Busch admitted to wrecking intentionally Keselowski late in the Nationwide race, and he celebrated that win by mockingly rubbing his eyes like a crying baby as the crowd showered him with boos. Keselowski vowed revenge over the public-address system, to the delight of the Bristol crowd.

The barbs continued all the way up to the start of the Cup race.

There was almost no chance of an on-track altercation, though, as the two hardly raced near each other for most of the night.
