Kurt Busch passed Martinsville master Jimmie Johnson for the lead with 10 laps to go Sunday and held off the eight-time winner to win at Martinsville Speedway for the first time since October 2002. The 48 car is king here, him or the 24,'' Busch said in Victory Lane, referring to Johnson and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, who also has eight Martinsville victories. ''I've been on this journey for a while and every time you come to Martinsville, you just kind of draw a line through it like there's no way I'll be able to challenge those Hendrick guys or be up in the top 10,'' Busch said. ''This Stewart-Hass team gave me a car to do it.'' It was Busch's first victory in his first season driving for Stewart-Haas Racing in a car funded solely by Gene Haas, who hand-picked the 2004 series champion because he said he wanted to see a team win with his name on the car.
