...for the Toyota engine? I know that he won the first race after the tapered spacer rule reduced the horsepower of his car, but can't remember how many more. He may have very well broken that ten race record without that rule change!
Thanks!
 
I believe he won five races, which was at ORP, California, Dover, Charlotte, and Texas. NASCAR cutting the Toyota housepower happened right before the race at ORP, which Busch led almost every lap for the win. There were four more wins after ORP. http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/bg/07/26/nationwide.kybusch.wins.orp/index.html http://www.nascar.com/races/bg/2008/rr_index.html
 
I think the race he won the week after the change was at O'Reilley Raceway Park. Kyle was talking about his great restarts there because he could mash the throttle without spinning the tires. That was on July 26 and he went on to win 4 more times this year in the Nationwide Series. That makes 5 wins total since the change and he was only in 11 of the last 14 races of the year. It didn't seem to slow him down much, he only had 2 finishes outside of the top 10 after the rules change (one of which was 10th) and one was a 35th place finish at Kansas because of a crash.
4's FINE N 09!!!!
