FONTANA, Calif. - Kyle Busch added a dominating NASCAR Nationwide Series victory to an overpowering truck win earlier Saturday at Auto Club Speedway.

The 23-year-old speedster, who led 95 of 100 laps in winning the Camping World Truck Series race, was out front for 143 of 150 laps on the 2-mile oval to earn his 22nd Nationwide victory. He became the first driver to win races in two NASCAR national touring series in the same day.

Former series champion Carl Edwards beat Busch out of the pits on the last pit stops by the leaders, but Busch powered back into the lead on the restart 16 laps from the end and pulled away.

NHRA: Ron Capps raced to his first No. 1 qualifying performance in Funny Car in more than four years at the Lucas Oil Slick Mist NHRA Nationals.

Larry Dixon led in Top Fuel and Mike Edwards was first in Pro Stock heading into today's eliminations at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event at Chandler, Ariz.
