No one
has ever won at
Last Year:
Kurt
Busch wouldn't
be held back as he came from behind several times to win the Subway Fresh 500
on April 23 despite being sore from an IROC crash the week before. Kyle Busch earned his second win of

on a race day that was overshadowed by the off-track antics of his older
brother.
Drivers To
Watch:
The Busch Brothers
with a slight edge to "Shrub". Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Dale Earnhardt
Jr., Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte, Kasey Kahne, &
Rookies Denny Hamlin, Clint Bowyer, & J.J. Yeley.
Pay attention to Practice(s) &
Qualifying. Look
for drivers that can make their cars hug the yellow line through turns 3 and 4, they'll be passing a lot of
cars. Also a driver can make up for a lot at
