NASCAR New Hampshire 2011 Witnesses Kyle Busch's 100th Career NASCAR Victory

Kyle Busch scored his 100th career NASCAR victory on Saturday as he won his 49th career Nationwide race. 

It is the most controversial 100th win ever as only two other drivers have reached that feat.  David Pearson has 106 career wins, while "The King," Richard Petty, has 200.

Bush has won 49 Natonwide events, 23 truck events, and 22 Sprint Cup victories.

In all honesty, his 100 victories don't compare to either of the other driver, but it is certainly an accomplishment and proves he is a very versatile racer.

At only 26 years of age, it would be no surprise if Busch was able to come close to Petty's 200 victories, but he likely doesn't deserve to be on the same level as Petty at this point.

He is a tremendous racer there is no doubt, but he is not even the best stock car driver of this era, Jimmie Johnson deserves that title.

Sorry Kyle, while your 100 career victories is a terrific achievement, you are not anywhere near the caliber of those racers.

With the excitement growing with each passing week, keep it locked to Bleacher Report's Motorsports Page for up-to-date news and analysis.
