Kurt Busch ended his 29-race winless streak after winning the rain shortened, Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

“Sometimes you just don’t win ‘em the right way,” Busch said. “I think we can honestly say that, but we had a lot of work and a lot of effort put in today and we’ll take it.”

“Once I saw that we were leading and we were out in front with 26 [laps] to go, that good old Kurt Busch jumped up on the wheel and I told myself, ‘Don’t let your team down. This is what you live for. This is what you race for, and that is to get into Victory Lane.’”

Busch better start counting his lucky stars because without any rain, he wasn’t winning this race.
