With 5 wins at Bristol, tied with Jeff Gordon for the most among active drivers, Kurt is considered the reigning "Bristol King."
That has been particularly true since 9-time Bristol winner Rusty Wallace retired after the 2005 season.
It really is a situation of surviving the first 400 laps -- keeping the fenders on the thing and staying out of the wall.
Inside the Numbers
Seven (7) drivers have at least 5 wins:
* Darrell Waltrip -- 12 wins in 52 races 23 %
