Sam Ard All-Time Consecutive Wins Record Withstands Kyle Busch Assault at Richmond

On Friday night in Richmond, Kyle Busch came into the event with three consecutive wins and attempted to tie one of the sacred records in NASCAR Nationwide Series racing history - the record of winning 4 consecutively scheduled races.

The amazing record set in 1983 by Sam Ard continues to stand alone following the Richmond festivities and Kyle's 3rd place finish.

Beginning with a win in race #30 on September 24, 1983 at South Boston, Virginia, Sam continued to win Race #31 at Martinsville, Race #32 at Orange County and concluded his win streak by taking event #33 at Charlotte on October 8, 1983 in the then NASCAR Budweiser Late Model Sportsman Series.

Congratulations to the multi-time champion!

Your record continues to stand alone, Sam!

sam was the man in his day glad to see his record still stands dave were you at wilson when sam came down and ran in the 200 season finale

Charles, to my knowledge I was not. Sorry to have missed that.

Sam Ard is a specil individual in the annals of racing history. Such a competitive driver, such a kind gentleman. I'm sort of hoping his record is never broken.

Sam Ard: As Good as There Ever Was

I'd somewhat be impressed if Kyle managed it in a car not decked to the gills with technology from one of the top Cup teams but otherwise, I couldn't care less even if he does it one day.

Sandeep, that is the perfect perspective. Sam did it with skill and savy, which Kyle also has, but Sam didn't have the trillion dollar budget, not even allowing for inflation.

Sam, like most of his contemporaries (Jack Ingram, Butch Lindley, Morgan Shepherd.....) BUILT their own car with their own hands, towed them to the track, and back home, and drove the 'devil out of 'um'. It was a different era, and one that can't really be compared to today. There's more to the story than just total victories.

Amen, Rev. Stagger.
