Kyle Busch led every lap of the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway to collect his 44th Nationwide Series victory.

Busch held off repeated late race challenges from Carl Edwards to claim his second win of the weekend. Edwards finished .514 seconds behind Busch.

Kevin Harvick finished third followed by Ryan Newman and Reed Sorenson.

Kyle Busch is the first driver to lead the entire race since Dale Earnhardt Jr. pulled it off on July of 2003 in a Nationwide race at Daytona. Busch is looking to make it three in a row in tomorrow's Subway 500 Sprint Cup race, an accomplishment he made last season at Bristol.

Reed Sorenson takes over the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series points lead after posting top-five finishes at Daytona and Phoenix.
