Oregon, Wis., June 24-The old saying 'if it's not broke, don't fix it' played out perfectly Tuesday night at the Madison International Speedway as Steve Carlson drove to victory in the Swiss Colony All-Star Challenge, leading all 100 laps before holding off Matt Kenseth at the checkered flag.

"I ran real good here last month and just literally parked the car in the garage and waited for this race," Carlson explained from victory lane. "I felt we had a real good car and everything was going good until that last caution," Carlson continued, "I was real nervous with Matt (Kenseth) behind me. I thought he might have been just waiting in the weeds there, but I guess not."

CAMBRIDGE, WI (Friday, June 06, 2008) - Kyle Busch is a racer's racer. If it has four wheels and a motor he will race it. Even though he has a busy NASCAR schedule, he always finds time to load up his Super Late Model and head to the Midwest and compete with the best drivers around.

Busch, the current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point leader, will make that trek again on Tuesday, June 24th when he will participate in his first Swiss Colony All-Star Challenge event at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI.

"I'm looking forward to it, I think it will be a great race," Busch recently stated. "I will be able to have some fun out here with Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart. I meant to be here last year but I didn't have a car ready for it. So this year we got our stable built up a bit and we are ready to come back and have some fun."
