Stewart, Busch chase history

Two of the hottest drivers on the circuit, Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch, are chasing history, according to NASCAR.com. Neither driver has won a Southern 500 yet, and that is one of the races that defines a driver's career.

Our View: Busch came closest in 2004 with a sixth-place finish. That was the last year NASCAR ran a Southern 500. Busch also came close to winning on this track in the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 when he banged fenders with Ricky Craven at the checkers before finishing second.

Stewart finished fourth in the 2001 Southern 500 and he has one other fourth-place finish to mark his best attempts.
