    Kyle Busch became the first driver in a national NASCAR race to win wire-to-wire in nearly eight years.

    It wasn't as easy as it looked, not with his car getting loose and Carl Edwards bearing down over the final few laps.

    Busch dominated from the pole early and held off Edwards late, maintaining the lead the entire way in the Nationwide race Saturday to set up the chance for a perfect weekend at Phoenix International Raceway.

    "It came down to the end of the race and Carl was alongside of me and we were racing really hard trying to beat each other, and I was like, 'Man, just beat him back to the start-finish line, man, just beat back to the start-finish line," Busch said. "I was just trying to hold on for as long as I could."
