Roush Racing captured its fifth-consecutive Craftsman Truck Series win Saturday in the thatlook.com 200 at New Hampshire International Speedway.

In the first three wins of this Roush streak, it was Greg Biffle piloting the Grainger Ford to victory lane. Rookie Kurt Busch then drove the Excide Batteries Ford to two consecutive win to set the current streak of Rousch wins at five.

"I had no idea that I would be this successful this quickly," Busch said. He thinks Winston Cup driver Kenny Irwin, who was killed in a crash during pracitce on Friday, was watching him from above and helping him toward the win.

With the win, Busch tied Irwin's number of wins (2) in a rookie season the day after Irwin's death.

"Once again, the team did an absolutely awesme job today," Busch said immediately after the race.

Mike Wallace finished right behind Busch in second with Randy Tolsma crossing the line in third. Busch's teammate and points leader Biffle finished fourth, followed by Andy Houston in fifth.

Championship contender Jack Sprage fell to fourth in the points chase with a 34th-place finish. He got caught up in Dennis Setzer's accident on lap three. Setzer wound up with a broken right shoulder blade because of the accident.
