Victory video: Kyle Busch edges Mark Martin by a hairsbreadth

Did you miss the end of the Bristol race Saturday night? Shame, because it was the tightest finish of the year, with only 0.098 seconds separating winner Kyle Busch from runner-up Mark Martin. Although most of the crowd was pulling for Martin -- shoot, a full one-fourth of the stadium had held up cards to create a giant Martin sign just four hours before -- Busch held him off to take the victory and put himself that much closer to the Chase:

We'll talk more about this later today, but the whole Kyle bad/ Mark good dynamic got a bit twisted Saturday night. Bristol wasn't the best race of the season, but it could end up being one of the most significant if either Martin or Busch makes a real run at the championship.
