Last year was the first night race at Chicago. What did you learn about how the racetrack changes at night as opposed to other 1.5-mile tracks that you race on?

"The biggest thing I learned last year was the track didn't change much, to be honest with you. It just got cooler and gained grip. The balance didn't change a lot. That was pretty cool to see. Charlotte, we go there and it's probably the most temperamental track as far as temperature.

Kyle Busch led only one lap in Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, but that independent lap happened to be one lap short of allowing Busch to take home an Independence Day win.

The driver of the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) was involved in some last lap fireworks on July 4 as contact with the No. 14 car of Tony Stewart thwarted a win just a few yards short of the finish line. Instead of celebrating his 16th career Sprint Cup victory and his second point-paying win at Daytona, Busch instead had to settle for a 14th-place finish.
