For the first time in NASCAR history, Kyle Busch set a new record for having won two races in the same day; under the lights with a dominating Nationwide race victory after having won the Camping World Truck series race earlier at the Auto Club Speedway.

The 23-year-old driver led 95 of 100 laps in winning the Camping World Truck Series race while he was out front for 143 of 150 laps on the two-mile oval to earn his 22nd Nationwide victory.

Busch will try for the unprecedented weekend sweep in Sunday's Auto Club 500 Sprint Cup event.
