FAST FACTS: Busch won the Southwest Tour title in 1999 before graduating to Jack Roush's NASCAR truck series team, where he won four races and finished second in points in 2000. His crew chief, Jimmy Fennig, earned his first title as well after years toiling on Midwestern short tracks, then for Bobby Allison's underfunded Winston Cup team. Busch's younger brother, Kyle, was the runnerup in the Busch Series this season driving for Hendrick Motorsports.
