Kyle Busch dominating in rain-delayed Bristol race despite headache
One wouldn’t know anything was hampering Kyle Busch at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon. But NBC reported that the leader of the most laps so far in the rain-delayed Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race was fighting a headache.
Busch, a five-time winner at the track, led 218 of the first 301 laps.

On Lap 190, though, NBC reported that Busch had told his team that he had a headache.
“He radioed in and said, ‘Next time in, guys, give me a bottle of water with some Goodies headache powder in it. I’ve got a pretty bad headache right now,” the network reported during the broadcast.
