Busch does it again in rain shortened NASCAR race
Roush driver Kurt Busch won the rain interrupted NAPA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, finishing 118 miles short but official after 206 laps. The 24-year-old tied multiple wins before 25, with Tony Stewart extending his points lead to 146 in a three‑horse race for the title. Stewart benefited from Jimmie Johnson’s double spins, while Mark Martin moved to second overall and Ryan Newman kept hope slim.
