Kyle Busch had yet another NOS Energy Drink bath in victory lane this weekend at the O’Reilly Challenge in Texas. Busch started the race in 4th place and quickly made his way to the front of the pack. This win was Busch’s 10th Nationwide Series victory this season, marking yet another milestone in Busch’s record breaking year.
