went to victory lane in a Jag in 1954.Busch drove his Snicker's Toyota to victory
lane ahead of teammate Tony Stewart to give TRD and Joe Gibbs Racing a 1-2 finish.
Busch Thanked his crew lead by Steve Addington,longtime JGR member Jimmy Makar,
sponsor's Interstate Batteries,M&M'S and Joe Gibbs from victory lane.

what might have happened yesterday had he not blown that tire.Stewart had nothing
good to say about today's tires but tires were not an issue for the younger Busch.
