Leicht gets first Busch win at Kentucky


Steven Leicht got his first Busch win Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway. Kentucky is becoming know for first time winners after the unknown David Gilliland won last year. Some are calling the race the "Upportunity 300" given not many full time cup drivers are entering this race.
Leicht passed and held off his best freind Brad Coleman and veteran Scott Wimmer towards the end of the race.
The race wasn't without controversy. On a restart, Stephen Wallace took out leader Carl Edwards. Edwards had dominated the race up until that point, but apparantly Wallace did not like that. At least Carl bounced back into Wallace after hitting the wall, ending his night as well. I bet the old man (Rusty Wallace) sits the boy down and has a heart to heart with him.
