Kurt Busch, winner of Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, will be Eli Gold’s featured guest today on MRN Radio’s “NASCAR Live.”

He’ll be joined by Camping World Truck Series driver Mike Skinner of Randy Moss Motorsports.

Busch sped away from the field on the second of two overtime restarts Sunday - ending Jimmie Johnson’s two-race winning streak and in the process, winning his second straight Kobalt Tools 500.

Busch led 129 of the 341 laps, including the final 10, in posting his 21st career win. His margin of victory over runner-up Matt Kenseth was nearly a half-second.

Busch is the first driver to win Atlanta’s early-season race in consecutive years since Cale Yarborough put three in a row together from 1967 to 1969.

NASCAR Live will air Tuesday at 7 p.m. (EST). Now in its 27th year, NASCAR Live invites listeners to call 1-800-2-NASCAR to participate or post their questions in the NASCAR Live section at www.motorracingnetwork.com.
