Kyle Busch gets his 100th career victory and tied Mark Martin atop the Nationwide record books with his hard-fought victory in the New England 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The victory was Busch's sixth of the season in 15 starts and the 49th of his career, tying Martin. At the same time, Busch, 26, won for the 100th time in NASCAR's top three series combined.
Busch chose the inside lane, beat Harvick through Turns 1 and 2 and had a flag displaying the number 100 waiting for him at the stripe. Kasey Kahne ran third behind Busch and Harvick, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Aric Almirola.
With history in his sights, Busch passed Stenhouse for the lead on Lap 173 and began to pull away.
To Busch, the most significant pass took place on Lap 152, when he split Harvick and Keselowski to take the second position.
"I think the reason we won today was the pass out of [Turn 4], getting between the 22 [Keselowski] and the 33 [Harvick]," Busch said. "It was so tough to pass that any time you saw an opportunity, you'd better just jump on it."

Kyle Busch can’t fathom what it was like racing in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s with Hall of Fame drivers Richard Petty and David Pearson.
Since he can’t go back in time, he’s not sure about the historical significance of winning 100 NASCAR races today compared to then, when Petty was on his way to a record 200 Cup wins and Pearson won 105, second on the all-time list. Busch is third on the all-time list.
that's what I'm saying...
