At age 26 Kyle Busch seems to have the NASCAR world by the tail. Capturing his 100th career NASCAR victory in today's New England 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Busch says he is "halfway there."

 

"I'm halfway to my number, I've always said it’s 200," Kyle Busch said after his milestone win. "Whether it's relative to Richard's or Pearson's, that's not what I'm out here for. I'm out here for myself and myself only to be able to achieve a goal. You set your goals and you try to get out there and do it. If I set a goal that I knew I could reach then it would really be a goal. So it's off on the horizon, it's a few years down the road, but hopefully we get to 200."

 

Busch grabbed the lead from Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. on lap 174 of the scheduled 200-lap race and never looked back. The race went into overtime due to a late-race caution, extending it to 206 laps.

 

Kevin Harvick finished second followed by Stenhouse, Kasey Kahne and Aric Almirola.

 

Eliott Salder leaves New Hampshire with the lead in the 2011 Nationwide point standings as the series heads to Nashville.
