    Kyle Busch snapped a 21-race losing streak -- an eternity by his standards -- with a late-race pass at Richmond International Raceway that denied Jeff Gordon yet another victory.

    Although Busch embarrassed the field early Saturday night -- at one point, there were only eight cars on the lead lap -- the racing evened out and Busch's car faded just a bit. That put Gordon in position for the win, a spot he's been in at least three other times this season.

    Once again, though, he was denied. Three late cautions gave the challengers a chance to chase Gordon down, and Busch capitalized with a pass on the final restart to stretch the four-time NASCAR champion's winless streak to 38 races.
