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.

“It’s awesome,” Busch said after climbing out of his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. “This is just a blast. It’s pretty special to beat guys like Carl and Kevin (Harvick). To win here twice in one day is even more special.”

Despite building leads of up to 11 seconds at times during the race, it all came down to the restart on lap 135 after Edwards beat Busch out of the pits by the length of the hood on his No. 60 Ford.

On the restart, Busch nudged Edwards and dove under him as Harvick, in third, made it three-wide for several seconds before Edwards slipped all the way to fifth. Busch easily led the rest of the way, beating Harvick to the finish line by 1.011 seconds — most of the front straightaway and almost the same margin he had in beating Todd Bodine in the truck race.

Busch’s JGR teammate Joey Logano held off a determined bid by Edwards to finish third in the Nationwide event.

“You know, it’s just racing,” Edwards said of the winning pass. “I couldn’t see behind me, but it felt like we were just racing real hard. I think I might have got touched, but he was going for the win and that’s what the fans pay for.

“Man, Kyle was just in a league of his own tonight, so it was tough to be able to hang with him for most of the night.”

The victory came in the first race back for crew chief Jason Ratliff, suspended along with fellow crew chief Dave Rogers for the second half of last season after the Gibbs team was caught trying to manipulate the results of an engine dynomometer test at Michigan International Speedway.

“I’ve been dreaming about this,” Ratliff said. “It’s a heck of a way to come back.”

In the truck race, Busch was too strong for the field.

Todd Bodine stayed with him for a while, but eventually slipped out of contention, finishing more than 9 seconds — more than the distance of the front straightaway — behind.

Chad McCumbee finished third, followed by David Starr, T.J. Bell, Ron Hornaday Jr., Matt Crafton and former bike racing star Ricky Carmichael, the top finishing rookie.

NHRA

CHANDLER, Ariz. — Ron Capps raced to his second consecutive Funny Car victory of the season Sunday at the Lucas Oil Slick Mist NHRA Nationals at Firebird International Raceway.

Capps took a single pass to claim his 27th career victory after final round opponent Mike Neff’s Ford Mustang broke on the burnout. Capps powered his Dodge Charger to 4.048 seconds at 306.81 miles per hour to win for the second time at the Phoenix track.

Antron Brown and Jeg Coughlin also won their categories at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event.

Brown earned his first Top Fuel victory of the season in his second straight final round, posting a 3.846 at 310.63 to hold off Brandon Bernstein, whose dragster lost traction and trailed at the finish in 5.173 at 143.54. Brown, who raced Pro Stock Motorcycle from 1998-07, moved into the Top Fuel points lead for the first time in his racing career.

Coughlin claimed his 42nd career victory in Pro Stock, defeating rival Kurt Johnson in the final round. Coughlin drove his Chevy Cobalt to a 6.643 at 208.01, while Johnson’s Cobalt trailed with a 6.647 at 208.46.
