TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - This time, the crash happened behind Kyle

Busch. Instead of leaving Talladega Superspeedway with a smashed-up

car, he drove into Victory Lane. The kid who couldn't conquer

Talladega finally won at the harrowing track today, and in this

breakout season for Busch, it was only fitting that he coasted to

the victory.

Busch came back from a lap down for his first win at Talladega,

which was won under caution when a 13-car accident brought out the

yellow flag on the final lap. It froze the field and allowed Busch

to slowly make his way across the finish line -- a rare completion

considering his past history at this track.

In six previous Cup races, Busch failed to finish four times and

wrecked out of both events last season. His accident in last

spring's Cup race was so hard, he cracked his head-and-neck

restraint while finishing 37th.

And his wreck in the fall officially ended his championship

hopes.

Today's win means a whole lot, he says, "I don't think I've

finished one here without wrecking, or at least without a torn up

car."
