Rookie Busch Continues to Impress

Kyle Busch keeps piling up rookie records in NASCAR's Busch Series. The 19-year-old brother of Nextel Cup points leader Kurt Busch on Thursday added a fifth pole to the record he already holds, taking the top spot for Saturday's Bashas' Supermarket 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

Busch turned a track record lap of 133.819 mph on the one-mile Phoenix oval, plenty fast enough to beat Greg Biffle's 132.319 and the 132.319 of Jamie McMurray, both full-time drivers in the Cup series. Series leader Martin Truex Jr. was ninth at 131.694.
