Roush Fenway driver David Ragan took his first ever win in the NASCAR Nationwide series as he battled Ryan Newman in a green-white –checker finish to win the Aarons 312 at the Talladega Superspeedway.

Ragan who started off the point in the overtime restart joined the rest of the top five drivers in a game of follow the leader as Dale Earnhardt Jr. led the field though the final lap.

The field broke pack as the cars entered the tri-oval towards the checkered flag with pole sitter Ryan Newman having the advantage.

Ragan held momentum with a push form Joey Longano and moved along side Newman, making contact and pulling forward to take the win 0.030 seconds.

Last year, Kyle Busch made history in March 2008 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

He became the first driver to win a Sprint Cup race for a foreign manufacturer since 1954.

Let’s run down the numbers at Atlanta and see who’s hot statistically speaking.

Kyle Busch was in a league of his own as the veteran driver completely dominated the NASCAR Nationwide series Stater Brothers 300 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana California.

Busch, who started on the outside pole took the lead on the first circuit and continued to pace the field to eventually lead 143 of the 150 scheduled laps.

Busch nearly broke his own record at the track; just missing the mark he set at the track last August when Busch and his Joe Gibbs Racing team led 144 laps. Incredibly Busch has all but thirteen laps of the last two series event held at the speedway.
