Kurt Busch's sixth-place finish in Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway vaulted the 2004 NASCAR champ into the points lead.
"That’s great (leading the points), but we’re smart enough to not put that much into it," Busch said about leading the points for the first time since March 13, 2005.
"There’s just too much racing left to be done. But it does stand for something we can be awful proud of – that we finally are able to be consistently running up front at most of these tracks now and that’s a great feeling for our Miller Lite Dodge Team and for everyone who has been working so hard at Penske Racing. That’s a really cool feeling."
Brad Keselowski won the race, which saw Carl Edwards crash into the retaining fence in the final laps. Parts from Edwards' car injured seven fans.
