People want to call him the "new" Kyle       Busch. But he looked a lot like just plain old Kyle Busch this       weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.    
That's the Kyle Busch who is in Victory Lane more often than not at the       .533-mile speedway and added a couple more wins to his total with a       sweep of the Nationwide/Sprint Cup series races this weekend in "Thunder       Valley."    
That's five in a row at Bristol for those of you keeping score at home,       spanning the Camping World Truck Series, Nationwide and Cup divisions.       And when NASCAR heads back to Bristol for a       tripleheader this August, you can bet Busch will be in the equation all       three nights again.    
While winning in the truck and Nationwide divisions is certainly       satisfying to Busch, the big picture of course is the Sprint Cup effort.       The repeated knock on Busch in NASCAR's top level has been his perceived       inability to harness his emotions and focus on winning a championship.    
Time and again Busch has proved getting to Victory Lane isn't as hard as       dialing down what's bubbling up inside him, which sometimes spills over       and gets in the way.    
Whether it's a an on-track run-in with a driver, a tirade over his radio       with his crew or a double-bird salute to a NASCAR official, Busch has       found ways to create challenges that have so far proven to difficult to       overcome to challenge for a title.    
Perhaps we're seeing that change in 2011. True, there is a long way to       go, and with only four races in the book, a lot can happen to upset       anyone's apple cart. But so far, Busch has tempered himself and dealt       with both adversity -- like an engine turning his car into a fireball at       Las Vegas -- as well as triumph, as in his trip to Victory Lane on       Sunday.    
More wins certainly appear to be in Busch's future. Whether those can       add up to being a championship contender still remains a question.
