Xtreme Concepts Racing rides into victory lane again

Alabama-based NASCAR team Xtreme Concepts Racing saw Kyle Busch drive the iK9 No. 18 into victory lane at Texas Motor Speedway.

Busch took the checkered flag in the Xfinity Series race on Saturday.

It was Busch’s 95th overall win in the series and third this year in the iK9 car.

An exuberant Busch jumped out of his car in victory lane, thanked iK9, a division of Xtreme Concepts, and then gave an honest assessment of an up and down day on the track in Fort Worth.

“This Toyota Supra was awesome today,” Busch said. “It was really fast on the long run I could just never get people away from me on the front side of the run to get settled into my rhythm and be able to go. Every time I got to the outside, people would just drive by me on the bottom. Then when I’d get to the inside, somebody would bust it on the outside on me and make me loose.”

Busch ended up getting out of it what he needed.

“A fast race car once I could get rolling,” he described.

The alliance between Xtreme Concepts and Joe Gibbs Racing has paid off well, with wins in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

The Xfinity Series heads to Tennessee this week for racing in close quarters at Bristol Motor Speedway.
