Busch leads Chase pack onto the Bristol bullring
http://www.nascar.com/2009/news/feat...tol/index.html



With 5 wins at Bristol, tied with Jeff Gordon for the most among active drivers, Kurt is considered the reigning "Bristol King."
That has been particularly true since 9-time Bristol winner Rusty Wallace retired after the 2005 season.
It really is a situation of surviving the first 400 laps -- keeping the fenders on the thing and staying out of the wall.

Inside the Numbers
Seven (7) drivers have at least 5 wins:
* Darrell Waltrip -- 12 wins in 52 races 23 %
* Dale Earnhardt -- 9 wins in 43 races 21 %
* Cale Yarborough -- 9 wins in 29 races 31 %
* Rusty Wallace -- 9 wins in 44 races 20 %
* Kurt Busch -- 5 wins in 17 races 29 %
* Jeff Gordon -- 5 wins in 33 races 15 %
* David Pearson -- 5 wins in 20 races 25 %
