| Kyle Busch To Race Super Late Model At Mason-Dixon Meltdown |
|
 CONCORD, NC (November 13, 2006) – The NASCAR Nextel Cup season consists of 36 points-paying races and a handful of non-points shows. That is a lot of racing for one individual driver. But for Kyle Busch, it’s not enough. Busch won’t be spending his first off-weekend from the Nextel Cup Series season at home on his couch. Instead, he’ll be spending it at South Boston Speedway in South Boston, Virginia, racing a Super Late Model in the inaugural Mason-Dixon Meltdown.

|
| Unity Raceway closed the 2006 racing season in New England
Sunday. Despite the cold temperatures racers showed up in full force.
The White & Bradstreet Mini Stocks and the Sun Auto & Salvage Mini
Trucks combined for 50 laps of excitement. Winter Harbor?s Justin
Trombley took advantage of his front row starting spot and never
looked back leading all 50 laps. Lance Chapman of Fairfield had
difficulty in lapped traffic while running second and became the meat
in the sandwich of two back markers. The incident ended Chapman?s day.
Unity Raceway track champion, Carl McAlpine of Burnham started the
race almost all the way to the tail of the thirty one car field but
was able to get into the top five in the caution filled first half of
the race. After getting into the Top five McAlpine had to pit for a
flat tire and try to come back up through the field. McAlpine would
have to settle for third.
