NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver Kyle “Rowdy” Busch is playing double duty this weekend at the New Hampshire International Speedway.  Busch will drive in Sunday’s SYLVANIA 300 Nextel Cup Series race but will also be back behind the wheel of the No. 51 Flanders Beef Patties Billy Ballew Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado Saturday for the running of the New Hampshire 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.

Busch has been a front runner and favored in his two previous starts for Ballew at the Loudon, New Hampshire race track, leading 51 laps and finishing in the third place position in 2006.  But Busch could also make history Saturday if he wins the New Hampshire 200. He and his brother 2004 NEXTEL Cup Champion Kurt Busch would become the first brothers to win the same race at the famed New Hampshire International Speedway.  The elder brother Kurt Busch won driving for Jack Roush in 2000 at the 1.058-mile oval speedway.
