First time Cup and Busch wins same weekend? haven't seen this anyplace, but during Speed Channel's Speed News, it was mentioned that Carl Edward's first time Busch Series and Nextel Cup Series wins, was the first time a drive had gotten his first career win in both series on the same weekend at the same track.

Correct, WideOpen. This is the very first time it's happened.

Jamie Mac came close --- just over a week between first wins.

The FOX TV team in the booth has Greg Fielden, the noted NASCAR historian, as the reference. He gave Mike Joy the info.

13 days between McMurray's first career victories in the series.

Prior to that, the closest was Ricky Rudd in 1983 with 22 days between.
