Kyle Busch wins the big 5-0: The Food City 250 Review

After an amazing finish - one of the smallest margin of victories too - Kyle Busch was introduced as the new King of Nationwide Racing. Busch won his 50th Nationwide Race and pulled into first place in the all time wins list passing 49 race winner Mark Martin.

Bristol was exactly what we haven’t seen in a while, Cup drivers dominating and taking the top spots. The top four drivers were Cup regulars with Aric Almirola finishing 5th. It was a shame to see this happening again.

Busch will always have his haters - people actually say he doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame because most of his wins came in the Nationwide Series. These people need to remember it is not the Cup Series hall of fame, it’s the NASCAR Hall of Fame. And it features a modified driver who never raced in the Nationwide or Sprint Cup Series. But aside from that, Busch has won 102 races. If Busch doesn’t get into the Hall of Fame, Mark Martin doesn’t belong either. Martin has won 40 Sprint Cup Races, and 49 Nationwide Races and he has never won a Nascar Championship! Kyle Busch is a Nationwide Champion, he has 23 Sprint Cup Wins and he’s still young. If Busch continues to run like he has in Sprint Cup he will pass Mark Martin’s 40 wins. You can’t fight facts folks. It doesn’t matter if you hate him, Kyle Busch is a Future Hall of Famer.
