MARTINSVILLE, Va.
Manuel
Locatelli Jersey . -- Kurt Buschs Sunday at Martinsville Speedway, in some
ways, was like his career wrapped into one afternoon. It started with a pit road
confrontation with Brad Keselowski, one that had Busch threatening over his
radio to rearrange Keselowskis face when the race was finished, and ended with
Busch ending an 83-race victory drought. The victory was his first for
Stewart-Haas Racing, in just their sixth race together, suggesting that it could
prove a very productive partnership, and one that a reflective Busch said he has
learned to approach with a more mature attitude. "I ran a lot of my early part
of my career as an individual and I didnt respect my team, my team owners,"
Busch said, adding that having Tony Stewart as a team owner has helped him learn
the value of better team communication. Celebrating in Victory Lane also was
emotional, too, because he got to do it for the first time with his son,
Houston. "It was pretty emotional. To see him starry eyed and not knowing what
he needed to do and I was directing him where he needed to stand and where he
could see it all better and put him up on stage," Busch said, his voice
cracking. "And to have him break down in tears, it got me crossed up because Ive
been trying to deliver for him ... It kind of took it to a new level." Busch did
it by passing Martinsville master Jimmie Johnson for the lead with 10 laps to go
and holding off the eight-time winner to win at the track for the first time
since October 2002. It was his 25th career Cup-level victory, and that it came
in the most unlikely of places suggested to Busch that hes finally in the right
place, team-wise and personally. "Youve got to put life in perspective, and you
have to learn from your mistakes and you cant just sit there and try to muscle
your way individually through certain situations," he said. "And so you rely on
your experience level, you rely on your team, and this is a great day for me to
be able to lift the trophy in Victory Lane for Stewart-Haas Racing." Johnson,
with eight wins in 25 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval, led 11 times for 296
laps. He seemed on his way to another victory when he took the lead from Busch
with 17 laps remaining. But Busch stayed close, ducked underneath Johnson seven
laps later and Johnson had nothing left to make a run at the lead, making for a
polite-looking finish. "Thats all I had," Johnson said. "Man, I ran the rear
tires off the car. I flipped every switch and knob I could in there to get front
brake and turns fans off and try to help bring my balance back." Just ahead,
Busch wasnt sure he could hang on. He hadnt finished in the top 10 in his last
16 starts here. "I didnt know if wed be able to do it, you know? The 48 car is
king here, him or the 24," he said in Victory Lane, referring to Johnson and his
Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, who also has eight Martinsville
victories. "Ive been on this journey for a while and every time you come to
Martinsville, you just kind of draw a line through it like theres no way Ill be
able to challenge those Hendrick guys or be up in the top 10," Busch said. When
it was over, Busch brushed aside talk about his in-race comments about his feud
with Keselowski, who claimed that Busch "just drove right through me and ruined
my day" on pit road, causing Keselowski to lose 30 laps and retaliate. "He tried
to flatten all four of my tires," Busch said of his former teammate with Roger
Penske Racing. "Thats a no fly zone. ... He will get what he gets back when I
decide to give it back." The race featured an event-record 33 lead changes, and
Johnson expected there would be one more, but on a slippery day on the smallest
circuit in NASCARs premier series, the cars at the end werent conducive to
typical short-track racing. "Man, we were so on edge slipping and sliding,"
Johnson said about the final laps duel, during which there was very little of
the beating and banging that usually typifies end-of-the-day racing at
Martinsville. "I think the lack of security in our own car kept us from feeling
more racy and putting a bumper to someone or really getting inside someone
aggressively." Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, followed by Joey Logano and Marcos
Ambrose. Virginia native Denny Hamlin, a four-time winner at Martinsville stung
by criticism when he missed last weeks race in Fontana, Calif., because of an
eye infection, promised Friday that he would win, and qualified second, but
finished 19th.

waiting until the end of the second round of the playoffs to make an
appointment. Benning, a former Canucks defenceman who spent nine seasons in the
league with Vancouver and the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been an assistant with
the Bruins since 2006.
