Kyle Busch took one lap around the go-kart track Wednesday at Sadlers Indoor Racing in Olathe, Kan., and called it a day.

Hadn't he done enough for one week?

Busch was still in the afterglow of making racing history by becoming the first driver to win all three of NASCAR's touring series -- Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Trucks -- in one week at Bristol, Tenn., where he churned 956 laps, leading 514 of them.

"For me to be the first one to do that, and hopefully for a while the only one to do it in NASCAR ..." Busch told the Kansas City Star this week. "It's been something I've been trying to do and wanting to do since I got in NASCAR.

"When you look across the board, you beat 35 other trucks and 42 other Nationwide cars and 42 other Cup cars ... that's an awful lot of competitors you had to beat."

Such a feat wasn't possible until the trucks series was introduced in 1995. And while dozens of Sprint Cup drivers double-up in the Nationwide series, few compete in the trucks series.

Still, some of Busch's contemporaries, including Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and Elliot Sadler, have raced in all three series, and in 2008, Busch became the first driver to compete in all three series on the same weekend at three different tracks -- Pocono, Nashville and Texas -- in pursuit of the triple.

Now that Busch has pulled off the sweep, he is looking toward at least three more opportunities when all three series run the final three weeks of the season at Texas, Phoenix and Homestead, Fla.

"That should be the plan," Busch said. "I'm sure Kevin Harvick is going to be right there, too."

The three wins at Bristol last week gave Busch 78 career NASCAR victories -- 19 Cup, 40 Nationwide and 19 trucks -- which places him ninth on the all-time list, 122 behind all-time leader Richard Petty's 200 Cup wins.

And Busch is just 25 years old.

"That's what I'm trying to do, to go after the win record," Busch said. "It is across all three series; it's not all in the Sprint Cup series winning 200. I still think it's a pretty cool feat to try to achieve.

"Some people will try to dumb it up as much as they want to ... saying, 'It's not all that great,' ... that, 'It's not as big a deal to win in the minor leagues.' "

The big leagues, of course, is the Sprint Cup series, and Busch's win at Bristol propelled him from eighth to third place in the standings with two races remaining before the Chase for the Sprint Cup begins.

"People say I run myself too thin," said Busch, who ran his own Kyle Busch Motorsports truck at Chicago Friday night in an off weekend for the Cup drivers. "But I feel it's a benefit for me to be out there all the time. ... More track time seems to help me."

Busch, the 2009 Nationwide champion, has won 10 of 20 starts in the series for Joe Gibbs Racing this season and is in third place in the standings despite missing four races. He'll miss a fifth today when he sits out the race in Montreal.

Dario Franchitti's pit strategy gamble paid off, helping him to win a frantic IndyCar series race at Chicagoland Speedway. It was a tough race for series points leader Will Power, who was running among the leaders when he abruptly went to pit road for an extra fuel stop with five laps left in the race. He finished 16th. Dan Wheldon finished second.

Marcos Ambrose won the pole for the race today at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. Ambrose turned a fast lap of 97.079 mph to edge French Canadian star Jacques Villeneuve's 96.924 mph. Joey Logano, who finished second at Watkins Glen, N.Y., to Ambrose three weeks ago, qualified third at 96.650 mph,

Mark Webber took the pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamps. Webber's fifth pole of the year put the Red Bull driver in prime position for a fifth victory to extend his four-point lead in the drivers' standings. Webber went around the circuit in 1:45.778 to edge Lewis Hamilton of McLaren, who trails Webber in the standings.
