Dan chose Kyle Busch as this week's Got It Done Award over the Phillies Eric Bruntlett (unassisted triple play) and John Smolts (first win as Cardinals).
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) -- Kyle Busch was finally able to shake that anger.
Derided all week by rival Brian Vickers as a generally unhappy human being, Busch had reason to celebrate Saturday night when he held off Mark Martin over a frantic four-lap sprint to the finish at Bristol Motor Speedway. His fourth victory of the season put him back in contention for the Chase for the championship.
And that miserable existence Vickers described? Perhaps he was confused by Busch's passion for winning.
"I am a guy who loves to win," Busch shrugged. "There's nothing else to me but the feeling of winning."
Although he grabbed wins in the lower-tier NASCAR series-- including Wednesday night in the Truck race at Bristol -- he'd come up empty in 13 consecutive races in the premiere Sprint Cup Series. It was a healthy slump for a guy who won races at a rapid pace last season, 21 in all spanning all three series.
