For for the first time in 2009, Kyle Busch left a race weekend without a race-winning trophy in hand and didn't appear a bit pleased with the way that happened.

Kevin Harvick nudged Busch's No. 51 in turn four at Martinsville Speedway and passed him for the lead with 10 laps to go in the rain-postponed Camping World Truck Series Kroger 250 to win the event, but not before Busch fell deep in the field.

While trying to straighten out a fender by brushing the infield wall under caution, Busch crossed the pit road commitment line and earned a penalty for not pitting. Busch was relegated to a 17th-place finish in the Kroger 250, and afterwards, dashed directly towards the track's exit to the motor home lot.

There must have been a sale on mergers in the month of July.

Ginn Racing led off with their merge with DEI, Robert Yates Racing hooked up with Newman-Haas and like 15 other people, and today, both Hendrick Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing added some depth to their Busch Series programs.

That depth for Hendrick Motorsports came in the form of a pact with JR Motorsports. The hard and fast facts are that Hendrick will ultimately ship its program to the JR Motorsports shop with about 30 employees and also supply engines, chassis, setup, and some sweet talent.

For Richard Childress Racing, Kevin Harvick Inc. will "take a more active role in increased technical alliance with regard to testing, aerodynamics, suspension and chassis" on the Busch side according to a statement from RCR.
